After his brilliant performance at the recent Doha Diamond League 2025, Neeraj Chopra is once again back in action at the Janusz Kusocinski Memorial 2025. Alongside the star Indian Javelin thrower, Anderson Peters and Julian Weber are also in action at the event. The event is being held in Chorzow, Poland, and it is interesting to note that Neeraj began his attempt with a foul throw and is hoping to improve as the event continues.
Throughout the event, Neeraj has been unable to find his groove, after the first foul throw, the star Indian athlete followed it up with a second throw of 81.28 metres. The 27-year-old was not happy after his attempt. Furthermore, things did not improve for Chopra as he was fouled on his third and the fourth throw as well.
Julian Webers and Anderson Peters were quick to climb ahead of Chopra with throws of 86.12 metres by Weber and 83.24 metres by Peters, whereas Chopra sat in third place with a throw of 81.8 metres after round 5 of the event. The trio of Webers, Peters, and Chopra were evidently struggling throughout the event, and after round 6, Chopra was quick to jump the ranks. The round 6 throw for the 27-year-old was 84.14 metres, which was his best for the night.
With round 6 being the final one of the night, Anderson Peters occupied third place in the standings with a highest throw of 83.24 metres.
