Neeraj Chopra Seals Ostrava Golden Spike 2025 Javelin Title With 85.29m Throw

Two-time Olympic medallist Neeraj Chopra continued his impressive run of form by clinching the javelin throw title at the 64th Ostrava Golden Spike 2025 with a best effort of 85.29m, recorded in the third round. The victory marked his second title in less than a week, following his win at the Paris Diamond League. Despite opening with a foul, Neeraj bounced back strongly to secure his third win of the season, finishing ahead of South Africa’s Douw Smit, who managed 84.12m, and Grenada’s Anderson Peters, who threw 83.63m. Earlier this season, Neeraj had delivered a massive 90.23m throw in Doha, underlining his consistency at the top level.
