Neeraj Chopra will be in action in the men’s javelin throw event at the Lausanne Diamond League meet on Thursday.

The 26-year-old is coming into the meet after winning the silver medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics, landing the javelin at a season-best distance of 89.45m.

Neeraj was expected to pull out of the Lausanne leg due to a groin injury but opted to continue with the season, while his competitor and gold-medallist at the Paris Games, Arshad Nadeem, will not take part in the competition.

However, Paris Olympics bronze medallist Anderson Peters and Tokyo Olympics silver medal winner Jakub Vadlejch will be in action in Lausanne.
