New Delhi: A fit-again Neeraj Chopra can create another piece of history when he takes part in the Diamond League Meeting here on Friday.
The 24-year-old Olympic champion javelin thrower has recovered from the “minor” groin strain injury he had suffered while winning a historic silver medal during the World Championships in Eugene, USA, last month.
A top-three finish here will ensure Chopra a berth in the Diamond League Finals in Zurich on September 7 and 8 as he is at fourth spot in the standings with seven points. He had finished second in the Stockholm leg — his first-ever podium — on June 30.
The top six in the standings will make the Zurich Finals. The Lausanne event is the last leg which has men’s javelin throw competition.
