A stacked field featuring Olympic medallists, world champions, and rising stars, expect fireworks.

Neeraj Chopra and Kishore Jena are up against a stacked javelin lineup in Doha. Czechia’s Jakub Vadlejch returns as last year’s winner, Germany’s Julian Weber and Max Dehning are both capable of landing big ones, and Grenada’s Anderson Peters brings his world titles and Olympic bronze. Add in Kenya’s Julius Yego and Japan’s Roderick Genki Dean, and it’s clear, this field isn’t messing around.

Neeraj Chopra made a stunning start to the men’s javelin throw with a world-leading throw of 88.44m. His powerful and precise release set the tone for the competition, immediately putting him in the driver’s seat.

This impressive mark not only showcased his top form but also sent a clear message to the field that he’s here to dominate. With such a commanding opening, Chopra has raised the stakes for everyone chasing him.

Anderson Peters holds second place with a solid throw of 85.64m, while Julian Weber sits in third after launching the javelin 83.82m.

Kishore Jena falters on his first throw, managing just 68.07m, leaving him at the bottom of the leaderboard.

Neeraj Chopra’s second attempt is a no throw, but he remains in the lead with his opening world-leading mark of 88.44m. Anderson Peters holds second place with a best throw of 85.64m, followed closely by Julian Weber, who improved to 85.57m on his second attempt.

Kishore Jena improves on his second attempt, boosting his best to 78.60m after a disappointing 68.07m in his first throw.

Finally, what we’ve all been waiting for, Neeraj Chopra breaks the 90-meter barrier with a massive throw of 90.23m, setting a new world-leading and national record. After an earlier 88.44m throw and a no-throw attempt, this incredible effort puts him firmly in the lead.

Julian Weber pulls off a stunning last-minute steal, launching a massive 91.06m to snatch victory from Neeraj Chopra, whose best stood at 90.23m. This marks Weber’s first-ever throw beyond the 90-meter barrier. Chopra’s final attempt reached 88.20m, but it wasn’t enough to reclaim the top spot.

1. Julian Weber (GER) – 91.06m

2. Neeraj Chopra (IND) – 90.23m

3. Anderson Peters (GRN) – 85.64m

That’s a wrap for today! We’ll catch you again with another live blog soon. Until then, take care and goodbye.
