With no Andersen Peters to challenge him, Neeraj had a strong challenge from Jakub Vadlecjch and Julian Weber. But Neeraj did not start well. He fouled in his first attempt with Latvia’s Gailums Patriks taking the lead.
However, Neeraj bounced back and managed a giant 88.44m throw to zoom into the lead as Jakub managed 86.00 and USA’s Curtis Thompson threw 82.10m.
Neeraj had another chance to get to the coveted 90m mark. However, he managed only 88.00m. With no challenge from the field, he comfortably held the lead.

But it was a downward trajectory since then. In his 4th attempt, Neeraj only managed 86.11 while Jakub threw 86.94m. While he improved in his 5th attempt with an 87.00m throw, he could not better his own 89.94m mark that he set this year. The last attempt ended in disappointment as he could only manage 83.60.
However, as Jakub fouled and Weber fouled, it cleared his way for maiden Diamond League Finals crown.
