Paris Olympics silver medallist Neeraj Chopra confirmed last week that he will be taking part in the Lausanne Diamond League meet on Thursday.
Neeraj, who got a season-best of 89.45 metres in Paris, has participated in just one Diamond League event, in Doha, this season due to a groin injury. Despite his solitary appearance, Neeraj sits in fourth place in the standings.
The reigning world champion was expected to undergo surgery after the Summer Games, but confirmed that he had postponed the treatment until the end of the season.
Also taking part in Lausanne are Olympic bronze medallist Anderson Peters and Tokyo Olympics silver medal winner Jakub Vadlejch. Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem, who won gold in Paris, will not be in action.
