This time Neeraj Chopra finished second at the prestigious Diamond League finals.

The Indian's best throw of 83.80m came in his second attempt but it was not enough to surpass Czech Republic's Jakub Vadlejch's throw of 84.24m. Finland's Oliver Helander came third with a best throw of 83.74m.

While Neeraj has thrown much greater distance in recent past, one reason for the Indian superstar's poor throw could be that the Asian Games are nearby and he would want to peak during the continental extravaganza.

But, Neeraj did his best.

He took down X and said, "Thank you Diamond_League for an amazing 2023 season. Had a great time competing against the best in the world. Looking forward to the 2024 edition already! 💎"

You might win Silver Chopra but for India you'll always be Gold and a Diamond!

Well played 🥈
