Indian javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra has qualified for the Diamond League 2025 Final in Zurich. Despite not competing in recent events, his high ranking ensures his spot. The 27-year-old, a two-time Olympic medallist, aims for more success as he prepares for future competitions.

Indian javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra has secured his spot in the prestigious Diamond League 2025 Final, which is set to take place in Zurich, Switzerland, on August 27 and 28.
