Neeraj Chopra issues fiery warning after epic throw: ‘I can throw more than 90m’

It was a “bitter-sweet” outing for Neeraj Chopra at the Doha Diamond League, where he finally breached the elusive 90m mark but still had to settle for second place. The 27-year-old Indian javelin star, who has battled a persistent groin injury in recent years, looked back in top shape as he hurled the spear to a career-best 90.23m in his third attempt. With that, Chopra became the third Asian and 25th athlete overall to achieve a 90m-plus throw — a prestigious club led by his current coach, Czech legend Jan Zelezny.However, Germany’s Julian Weber had the final say in Doha. He snatched victory with a last-gasp effort of 91.06m, surpassing Chopra’s mark and pushing the Indian Olympic gold medallist to second spot, despite leading until the final round.
