Neeraj Chopra To Begin Competitive Season At Doha Diamond League 2025 

In the men's javelin event, Neeraj Chopra will face stiff competition from stalwarts like Anderson Peters, Julian Weber, Jakub Vadlejch, Julius Yego, among others in the competition. Odisha's Kishore Jena will also be featured in the same event as the Double Olympic medalist.

Notably, this is Chopra's second competitive outing. Neeraj had featured in the Potch Invitational Meet in Potchefstroom, South Africa, where he won with an 84.52m throw. The attempt is way lower than the much-anticipated 90m mark, which he is keen to breach this season.

Apart from Neeraj Chopra and Kishore Jena, National Record holder Parul Chaudhary will be featuring in the Women's 3000m Steeplechase, while Gulveer Singh will be making his debut in the event at the men's 5000m race at the track in Doha.
