NEW DELHI: Despite persistent fitness worries, star Indian javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra put up a gutsy performance that resulted in a season's best effort of 89.49 meters, finishing second in the Lausanne Diamond League.
The 26-year-old started the fourth round in fourth place and shot his spear 85.58 meters on his fifth try. He left the best for last, and he recorded a last try of 89.49 meters on Thursday, which was just slightly better than the 89.45 meters he had just a few days before at the Olympics in Paris.
