Neeraj Chopra achieved a historic milestone in the recently concluded Doha Diamond League 2025 tournament. India’s golden arm became the first javelin player from his country to breach the 90m mark in an international competition.
Neeraj Chopra threw a thunderous 90.23m and achieved a personal and national record during the Doha Diamond League 2025. Chopra finished second behind Germany’s Julian Weber, who threw 91.06m.

In response, Neeraj graciously acknowledged the Prime Minister’s message and wrote, “Thank you shri @narendramodi ji for your kind words and encouragement. I hope to continue and give my best for the country always!.”
