Prime Minister Narendra Modi wrote on X, 'Wow! What a great achievement! Many congratulations to Neeraj Chopra for crossing the 90-meter mark and achieving his best throw in the Doha Diamond League 2025. This is the result of his hard work, discipline, and passion. The whole of India is happy and proud.'

India's 'Golden Boy' Neeraj Chopra created history on Friday by throwing the javelin beyond 90 meters for the first time in the Doha Diamond League. He made his personal best by throwing the javelin 90.23 meters in his third attempt in the final. Earlier, his best throw was 89.94 meters, which he threw in the Stockholm Diamond League on 30 June 2022. Despite the best throw, Neeraj Chopra had to settle for the silver medal. Weber Julian of Germany won the gold medal with 91.06 meters. Neeraj was number one till the fifth throw out of six, but Julian overtook him in the sixth and last throw.

How the ground danced

The distance of 90 meters was not just a figure, but it had become a challenge for Neeraj Chopra. He had come very close to this figure many times, but every time, he was limited to 88 or 89 meters. When Neeraj Chopra made this historic throw in the third attempt, the entire ground danced. The role of his new coach, Jan Zelezny, is also considered important in this performance. He recently removed German coach Dr. Klaus Bartonietz and appointed three-time Olympic gold medalist Zelezny (Czech Republic) as his coach.

Which club did Neeraj join?

With this throw, Neeraj has now joined the 90-meter club, which already includes players like Olympic gold medalist Arshad Nadeem of Pakistan. This achievement is not just a record for Neeraj, but also a huge personal victory. This was Neeraj's first big match of the season in Doha, where he faced giants like two-time world champion and 2024 Olympic bronze medalist Peters Anderson of Grenada, Yakub Vadlejch of Czechia (2024 Doha winner), Weber Julian and Max Dehning of Germany, Julius Yego of Kenya and Roderick Jenki Dean of Japan.
