Indian Olympic javelin champion Neeraj Chopra (24) will participate in Friday's Diamond League meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland, after recovering from an injury.
Chopra, who last year in Tokyo became the first Indian to win an individual athletics gold medal at the Olympic Games, did not defend his Commonwealth Games title in Birmingham due to an injury he picked up at the World Championships in Eugene, Oregon.
"Feeling strong and ready for Friday. Thanks for the support, everyone. See you in Lausanne!" Chopra said on Twitter on Tuesday, August 23rd.
Chopra produced a throw of 88.13m in Eugene in July to clinch a first silver medal for India at a World Championships and only the country's second overall after Anju Bobby George (45) took bronze in the women's long jump in 2003.
