Neeraj Chopra Creates History with 90.23m Throw, Finishes 2nd in Thrilling Doha Diamond League 2025

India’s golden boy of javelin, Neeraj Chopra, achieved a long-awaited milestone on Friday at the 2025 Doha Diamond League, crossing the 90-metre mark for the very first time in his career. With a phenomenal third attempt measuring 90.23m, Neeraj etched his name in history as the first Indian ever to breach this elite mark in the javelin throw.

For much of the evening, Neeraj led the competition and looked poised for victory. However, Germany’s Julian Weber pulled off a stunning final throw of 91.06m, setting a new personal best and edging past Neeraj for the top spot.

Despite finishing second, it was a proud moment for India, with Neeraj’s groundbreaking performance marking a new era in Indian athletics. Adding to the celebrations, Parul Chaudhary also made headlines by setting a national record in the women’s 3000m steeplechase, capping off a memorable night for Indian track and field.
