All eyes will be on Olympic champion javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra as he returns to action after a one-month injury lay-off in search of a second straight podium finish of the season at the Lausanne leg of the Diamond League in a star-studded field on Friday.
The 25-year-old finished with the gold at the Doha leg of the Diamond League on May 5 with a fourth career-best throw of 88.67m but suffered a muscle strain while training later that month. He subsequently missed the FBK Games on June 4 at Hengelo (the Netherlands) and Paavo Nurmi Games in Turku, Finland on June 13 but is now back in action for the country.
Meanwhile, Murali Sreeshankar, who was India's newest Diamond League podium finisher in the Long Jump event, will want to continue his good form after coming third in Paris earlier in June with a jump of 8.09m. His personal best of 8.41m on the way to winning gold at the National Inter-State Athletics Championships earlier in June, just 1cm shy of the national record of 8.42m which is in the name of Jeswin Aldrin.
