Chopra was in superb form throughout his six attempts in the Diamond Stockholm League. Thus, he ended with 84.37m, 87.46m, 84.77m,86.67m and86.84m after his record-breaking throw in the opening round.

“Today, I feel good and after the first throw, I thought I could throw even over the 90m today. But it is OK as I have more competitions coming this year. I am close to 90m now and I can throw it this year,” said Chopra. “Despite the fact that I did not win tonight, I feel very good because I did my best,” he added.

For the unversed, the javelin thrower made his maiden Diamond League appearance in four years. In Zurich in August 2018, Chopra had ended at thefourth spot.Prior to that, he has taken part in seven Diamond League campaigns -- three in 2017 and four in 2018. The next Diamond League will be held in Monaco on August 10.
