Neeraj Chopra, the reigning Olympic champion had a month off due to injury, but now that he is back, he would hope to make the most of this opportunity and aim at a second podium finish of the season. With a sensational throw of 88.67m, Chopra had topped the charts at the Doha leg of the Diamond League, but a subsequent muscle strain had kept him out of action in the FBK Games in the Netherlands and the Paavo Nurmi Games in Finland. With eight points, he currently leads the standings with Czech Republic’s Jakub Vadlejch in second place. Grenada’s Anderson Peters is third in the standings. Chopra’s personal best (89.84) came last year at the Stockholm Diamond League.
