Diamond League 2022 finals preview
The Diamond League 2022 finals will be contested between six athletes who qualified for the event. Other than India’s Neeraj Chopra, Latvia’s Patriks Gailums, Portugal’s Leandro Ramos, United States’ Curtis Thompson, Czech Republic’s Jakub Vadlejch and Germany’s Julian Webber have also qualified for the finals.
The six-man javelin throw field here will be without world champion Anderson Peters of Grenada, who is recovering from injuries after he was assaulted inside a boat in his country last month. Chopra’s biggest rival will be the Olympic silver medallist Jakub Vadlejch of the Czech Republic whom the Indian had beaten in Lausanne also.
Before Chopra, discus thrower Vikas Gowda is the only Indian to have finished in the top three in a Diamond League Meet. Gowda had finished second twice — in New York in 2012 and in Doha in 2014 — and third on two occasions — Shanghai and Eugene in 2015.
