Athletics, Diamond League Final, as it happened: Neeraj Chopra finishes second in men’s javelin

That’s all from us tonight for the 2024 Diamond League Final. See you later!

And with that, Neeraj Chopra’s 2024 season has come to an end.

Second in the 2024 Diamond League and second at the 2024 Paris Olympics – two very impressive performances despite the 26-year-old struggling with a groin injury.

The Paris 2024 silver medallist continues to carry the flag high for Indian athletics on the world stage. And with surgery on the cards now his season has concluded, a break is perhaps just what is needed for Neeraj to get his groove back, as per his high standards.
