India's Golden Boy Neeraj Chopra will take the field at the iconic Hayward Field at the University of Oregon late on Saturday night as he competes in the Eugene Diamond League Final.

Hayward Field is where Chopra won a historic silver medal in the 2022 World Athletics Championships last year.

The 25-year-old will be bidding to retain his title in a six-man field, which includes multiple-time world and Olympic medallist Jakub Vadlejch and two-time world champion Anderson Peters.

Chopra had claimed the Diamond League champion's trophy at the finale in Zurich last year.

Chopra is also likely to compete at the upcoming Asian Games in China's Hangzhou (September 23 to October 8), where the men's javelin throw event will happen on October 4.

Chopra’s route to the final has seen him finish on top in two individual Diamond League meetings — in Doha on May 5 and Lausanne on June 30 — and second at the Zurich meet on August 31 (with Vadlejch topping). He also claimed an unprecedented gold medal at the World Athletics Championships in Budapest, bettering his silver medal from last year.
