Neeraj Chopra Chases Second Diamond Trophy at Zurich Final Tonight

The Zurich title carries the Diamond Trophy with a World Championships wild card, sharpening the test against elite rivals.

Overview

  • Chopra competes in a seven-man javelin final at Letzigrund, with world leader Julian Weber and defending champion Anderson Peters headlining the field, while Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem is not in the lineup per live updates.
  • The Diamond League Final is a winner-takes-all event, awarding the champion the Diamond Trophy and a wild-card entry to the World Championships.
  • Chopra qualified with 15 points after finishing second in Doha with a 90.23m national record and winning the Paris leg with 88.16m.
  • Live coverage streams on the Wanda Diamond League YouTube and Facebook channels as part of the full-meet broadcast, with no dedicated javelin-only feed.
  • Indian outlets list differing start times for the javelin—11:15 pm IST (Free Press Journal) versus 11:45 pm IST (Hindustan Times)—so viewers should verify on the official stream.
