Neeraj Chopra: Continuing His Golden Streak/ Diamond League Final
Neeraj Chopra, the Olympic gold medalist and World Champion in javelin, has been a consistent performer in the international circuit.
Following his historic gold at the Tokyo Olympics, Chopra added another feather to his cap by winning gold at the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest.
Now, all eyes are on him as he prepares to compete in the Diamond League Final, a title that has eluded him so far.

His powerful throws, combined with his calm and focused demeanor, have made him a formidable force in javelin. Winning the Diamond League Final would add yet another milestone to his already glittering career.
Avinash Sable: The Steeplechase Sensation
Avinash Sable, another Indian athlete making waves internationally, will be competing in the 3000m steeplechase. Sable has had a fantastic season, breaking his own national record multiple times and consistently placing himself among the top runners globally.
His journey has been one of grit and perseverance, hailing from a small village in Maharashtra and training under challenging conditions before making it to the big leagues.
Sable’s rise to international prominence has inspired many aspiring athletes in India, particularly in distance running, a field that India has traditionally not been strong in.
His presence in the Diamond League Final is a historic moment, marking the first time an Indian steeplechase runner has reached this level of competition.
A New Era for Indian Athletics
Neeraj Chopra and Avinash Sable’s participation in the Brussels Diamond League Final symbolizes the dawn of a new era for Indian athletics.
Both athletes have broken barriers and challenged the conventional limitations that have long held back Indian sports on the world stage.
Their performances will not only boost India’s chances of winning medals but will also inspire a new generation of athletes to dream big and aim for global recognition.
As they prepare to compete in Brussels, the nation eagerly awaits another historic moment, hoping for stellar performances from both Chopra and Sable.
