Neeraj Chopra threw the javelin 88.44 meters in his first attempt in the finals. With this, Neeraj Chopra, who threw the javelin for the longest distance, won the title of champion in the javelin category of the Diamond League series.

However, Chopra, who was last in the list to make an attempt, made a remarkable comeback to reach 88.44m mark and jump from sixth to the top spot.
Neeraj Chopra also became the first Indian to win the Diamond League title. Following this, various parties are congratulating Neeraj Chopra. He had missed the 2022 Commonwealth Games following an injury in the World Championships in July, where he won a silver medal.
