Another historic feat awaits Olympic champion javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra as he will start as favourite in the prestigious Diamond League Finals here on Thursday.
Chopra had made a spectacular return from a one-month injury lay-off by winning the Lausanne leg of the Diamond League series and qualifying for the two-day finals here.
He became the first Indian to clinch a Diamond League meet title. He had missed the Birmingham Commonwealth Games due to a minor groin injury he had suffered during his performance in the World Championships.
