Mumbai, June 21: Two-time Olympic medallist Neeraj Chopra will be in action in the Paris Diamond League 2025, returning to the competition for the first time in eight years. The reigning world champion will compete at the Stade Sebastien-Charlety in the early hours of Saturday. Neeraj will return to the Paris Diamond League after eight years, with his last appearance in 2017. Earlier in the year, Neeraj shattered his national record with a massive 90.23m throw at the Doha Diamond League in May. As he stands on the cusp of another mammoth throw, here is a look at his top five record-shattering attempts.
