Two-time Olympic medal winner Neeraj Chopra has regained his top spot in the latest rankings and will enter the Neeraj Chopra Classic as the top-ranked javelin thrower. Neeraj, who won gold at Tokyo Olympics and silver in Paris last year, currently has 1445 points, thus displacing Grenada’s Anderson Peters (1431) in the second place. Neeraj had lost his top spot to Peters last year.
German ace Julian Weber is third at 1407 points, followed by Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem (1370) at fourth. The development comes in after Neeraj recently came on top at the Paris Diamond League, ahead of Weber. Prior to that, the Indian finished second behind Weber at the Doha Diamond League in May.
