Indian javelin throw star athlete Neeraj Chopra will aim for another 90-metre throw when he takes part in the Janusz Kusocinski Memorial 2025 athletics meet in Poland on Friday (23 May). Two-time Olympic medallist Neeraj finally breached the 90m milestone at the Doha Diamond League last week and will be aiming to better his effort in Poland.

Neeraj registered a mammoth throw of 90.23m at the Doha Diamond League, creating a new National Record, but he was forced to settle for the second spot as Germany’s Julian Weber also got to his first 90+ throw and won the event with a 91.06m throw.

Weber will be competing against Neeraj in Poland too and it provides the Indian the perfect opportunity to take his revenge. However, we would want to add here that Neeraj and Weber are great friends. Neeraj had even congratulated Weber for winning the Doha event.

“I also told Julian (Weber) that we can throw 90m. I am also happy for him. We have tried very hard for 90m for so many years, and so we are happy. It’s like a good push between us and in the next competition we will push each other again and will throw farther,” he said.

On finally breaking the 90m barrier, Neeraj said he always knew it was going to happen, but his critics felt otherwise. “A lot of people used to ask about the 90m mark. Some also said it won’t happen because since 2018, I have reached so far and been hitting 88-89m marks. Finally, not for me but surely the burden of the Indian fans has gone away now that the 90m is crossed. I feel I can do better and we will do it this year,” Neeraj told RevSportz.
