Well! That is it from the javelin throw event at the Diamond League 2025 Final. We hope you liked our coverage for the event. Stay connected to us for the upcoming sporting action and keep following NDTV Sports. Goodbye.

Germany's Julian Weber was simply the best athlete at the javelin event. He was too good for everyone. Weber clinched the Diamond League trophy with a best throw of 91.51m in his second attempt. While Chopra came second, Walcott claimed the third spot with a best throw of 84.95m in his first attempt.

Has Neeraj Chopra done it? He has got a distance of 85.01m in his sixth and final attempt and has claimed the second spot for now. All depends on Walcott. Can he surpass him? No, Walcott fails to surpass Chopra. That means India's Neeraj Chopra finishes second with a best throw of 85.01m.

Wieland Simon throws a distance of 81.29m, his personal best, in his final attempt. Meanwhile, Mardare finishes with a throw of 77.28m. Julius makes a foul, while Anderson Peters gets a distance of 78.77m.

Neeraj Chopra has made a hat-trick of fouls. This is turning out to be a really poor performance from the India star. The silver lining in this below-par show is that Chopra still holds the third position. Meanwhile, Walcott has got a distance of 77m while Weber clicked 86.45m.

The fifth round has kicked off. Wieland (70.80m), Mardare (78.38m), Julius (81.29m), Peters (81.98m) have completed their respective fifth attempts.

Not a good night this is turning out to be for India's Neeraj Chopra. He has made yet another foul, his second on the trot. Chopra will continue to hold the third position though. Walcott also makes a foul, while Weber has got a distance of 83.66m in his fourth attempt.

Wieland (71.06m), Mardare (75.94m), Julius (79.32m), Peters (79.20m) have made their fourth attempt. 

Neeraj Chopra has made a foul in his third attempt and so is the case with Julian Weber. The top-3 stands as it is - Weber on top, Walcott at second, Chopra at third.

Wieland (77.04m), Mardare (77.11m) and Julius (82.01m) have taken their third attempt. Walkott and Peters too joins them in the list with distances of 81.78m and 77.93m, respectively. Thows of Chopra and Weber coming next.

Neeraj Chopra has got a distance of 82m in his second attempt. He is not happy with his performance so far and that is evident in his reaction after both the first two throws. He, however, manages to hold the third spot.

Germany's Julian Weber is putting on a show here. He has done further better in his second attempt, getting a distance of 91.51m. Has he already sealed the top spot for himself?

The athletes are taking their second attempt. The local boy Simon Wieland has got a distance of 72.25m, Julius Yego made a foul, Andrian Mardare improved to 81.81m, while Anderson Peters got a distance of 82.06m. Walcott had a poor showing in this round. He threw his javelin to a distance of 79.91.

Neeraj Chopra has started with a throw of 84.35m in his first attempt. He was the last one to throw in the 7-man final. After the end of first attempt, Neeraj stands at the third position. Meanwhile, Julian Weber of Germany has thrown a personal best of 91.37m to hold the top spot so far.

The men's javelin event has kicked off at the ongoing Diamond League Final 2025. Simon Wieland (77.35), Anderson Peters (81.41), Julian Weber (91.37), Julius Yego (80.49) and Keshorn Walcott (84.95) and Andrian Mardare (79.35) have completed their first attempts. That of Neeraj Chopra is coming next.

The men's javelin throw event at the ongoing Diamond League 2025 is set to start soon. Neeraj Chopra will be in action at the competition, with India hoping for a podium finish from the star athlete.

It has been an eventful year for Neeraj Chopra. He first achieved the long-awaited 90m throw early in the season, then realised his dream of hosting and competing in a quality event in front of home fans at the NC Classic on July 5 in Bengaluru. Tonight, the star India javelin thrower will attempt to regain the DL Trophy which he had won in 2022. He finished runner-up in 2023 and 2024 to Jakub Vadlejch of Czech Republic and Peterson respectively.

Peters is also a two-time world champion though his form has not been the best in recent times. He has a season's best of 85.64m -- while finishing third in Doha -- so far. Weber has the longest throw of this year at 91.06m which he produced to beat Chopra in Doha DL on May 16.

Chopra finally breached the 90m mark at Doha with a 90.23m though he finished second behind Weber. The 27-year-old Indian superstar then won the Paris leg on June 20 with a throw of 88.16m while Weber finished second with 87.88m.

The Indian star's 90.23m in Doha DL is the third longest throw of the season.

A thrilling contest is on the cards in men's javelin with Chopra facing defending champion Anderson Peters of Grenada as well as Germany's Julian Weber in the seven-man final. Kenya's 2015 world champion Julius Yego, Keshorn Walcott of Trinidad and Tobago, and Andrian Mardare of Moldova entered the field as athletes in the top-6 in the points table, while Simon Wieland of Switzerland was also added as the host country's entry.

"I feel I am really fast in run-up, but I don't think I am using the speed (to send javelin farther) right now. In Doha, the 90m throw was really good, but technically I don't want to say that was perfect," Chopra said while addressing the media ahead of the Diamond League Finals on Thursday. "If my left leg is straight and if I use perfect block, that will be really good throw and then I will be satisfied with my speed," he added.

There are 32 events, both male and female, in the DL Final, which is spread over two days. Six events -- men's and women's pole vault, men's and women's shot put, men's long jump, and women's high jump -- were held on Wednesday, all street events in the Swiss city's Sechselautenplatz.

The remaining 26 events are, however, being held inside the Letzigrund Stadium on Thursday. The winner of each event at Diamond League Final will be named this year's champion and get a Diamond League trophy as well as prize money ranging from USD 30,000 to USD 50,000 and wild card entries to next month's World Championships in Tokyo.

There were four Diamond League meetings which featured men's javelin throw, and Chopra competed in only two, qualifying for the Finals at fourth place with 15 points. He skipped the Silesia and Brussels legs on August 16 and August 22 respectively. He last won the Diamond League trophy in 2022.

Two-time Olympic medallist Neeraj Chopra seems primed to reclaim the Diamond League trophy with a repeat of the 90m show that has been the highlight of his season so far when the prestigious 14-leg series draws to a close in Zurich tonight.
