India's golden boy Neeraj Chopra will be in javelin throw action at the Stockholm Diamond League 2022 - BAUHAUS-galan on Thursday (June 30) at the Stockholm Olympic Stadium in Stockholm, Sweden.
Neeraj, who won a historic gold medal in Tokyo Olympics 2020, broke his own national record with a throw of 89.30 meter at the Paavo Nurmi Games in Turku, Finland on June 14, but that effort landed him only a silver.
However, four days later on June 18, the 24-year-old Neeraj won his first medal of the season at the Kuortane Games in Finland with a throw of 86.69m. Now, he looks to secure his first medal at the Diamond League.
