The 25-year-old edged out Germany's Julian Weber (87.03m) and Czech Republic's Jakub Vadlejch (86.13m) to secure his place at the summit at the Lausanne Diamond League for a second year on the trot. Chopra, who earlier finished first at the Doha Diamond League in May with a throw of 88.67 metres, returned from a muscle injury to continue his hectic 2023 season in the best possible manner. "I was concerned about my fitness and injury coming into the event because I want to give my 100% at each event. In the two training sessions before the throw, I was testing myself out and the weather was slightly unfavourable, so I was concerned. My main objective was to push myself and give it my all at the event," Chopra said, speaking to the press about his approach to Lausanne
