This marked Chopra’s fifth appearance in a Diamond League final, where he has had a steady climb, including his 2022 win. Neeraj qualified for the 2024 final with 14 points after strong performances in the Doha and Lausanne legs.

Despite battling a groin injury throughout the season, Chopra managed solid throws, including a national record of 89.94 meters set in Stockholm last year and a second-best of 89.49 meters at Lausanne.
