Diamond League Finals 2025 Javelin Throw LIVE: 5th Attempt Underway

Wieland has the worst effort of the night, reaching 70.80m, and Mardare follows it up with a 78.38m throw.

Diamond League Finals 2025 Javelin Throw LIVE: 4th Attempt Underway

Wieland begings the fourth round with a poor 71.06m throw. A number of sub-80 throws as Mardare reaches 75.94m, Yego only makes it to 79.32m, and Peters manages 79.20m.

The biggest news is that Neeraj has back-to-back foul throws! Is it all over for the Indian star in tonight's clash?

Walcott has a foul throw as well. Julian Weber wraps it up with a 83.66m attempt. Not a great showing from any of the seven athletes in the fourth round.

  1. Weber: 91.51m

  2. Walcott: 84.95m

  3. Chopra: 84.35m

  4. Peters: 82.06m

  5. Yego: 82.01m

  6. Mardare: 81.81m

  7. Wieland: 77.35m

Diamond League Finals 2025 Javelin Throw LIVE: 3rd Attempt Underway

The third attempt is underway, and Wieland fails to improve upon his first attempt again, throwing 77.04m. Mardare throws 77.11m, and Yego follows it up with a 82.01m. Walcott reaches 81.78m with his third throw. Anderson's effort is disappointing as well, reaching 77.93m.

Weber, after back-to-back 90m+ throws, has a fault throw in his third attempt. Is this a lifeline for Neeraj Chopra?

Not really, as Neeraj, too, has a foul throw. The German's lead remains.

  2. Walcott: 84.95m

  3. Chopra: 84.35m
