The Diamond League Final: Following his second-place finish in the Diamond League Final, Neeraj Chopra took to social media to reflect on his 2024 campaign. One of India’s leading athletes, the 26-year-old also revealed he participated in Brussels with a fractured fourth metacarpal in his left hand.

“As the 2024 season ends, I look back on everything I’ve learned through the year - about improvement, setbacks, mentality and more. On Monday, I injured myself in practice and an X-ray showed that I had fractured the fourth metacarpal in my left hand. It was another painful challenge for me. But with the help of my team, I was able to participate in Brussels,” wrote Chopra in his post.

Neeraj Chopra, the first Indian athlete to win gold medal in the Olympics, finished second in Brussels with a best throw of 87.86m in the Diamond League Final, on Saturday night. He missed out on the top spot by just a 1 cm margin. Anderson Peters, who won and finished at the top, hurled the spear to a distance of 87.87m to finish at the numero uno position. He won a bronze medal at the Paris Olympics.
