Neeraj Chopra at Doha Diamond League Live Streaming: When and where to watch men's javelin event live in India
Neeraj Chopra's pursuit of a second Diamond League title begins at the Doha Diamond League at the Suheid bin Hamid Stadium in Qatar, where he will be one amongst a field of 11 javelin hurlers with intentions of gunning for the gold medal to kick start the 2025 Diamond League gauntlet.
The two-time Olympic medallist has finished second in each of the last two years of the Wanda Diamond League, falling agonisingly short of backing up his debut Diamond League championship from 2022 when his throw fell one centimetre short of the first position in Brussels last September.
The Diamond League will see a congregation of athletes who will want to gear up for the World Athletics Championship later this year in Tokyo, Japan. Neeraj is the defending champion in the men's javelin category, having hurled for a strong 88.17m to clinch the title in Budapest in 2023.
The Neeraj Chopra Classic, a gold-category meet for the WAC, was set to take place in Bangalore's Sree Kanteerava Stadium earlier this month in the build-up to the Diamond League in Doha, but was postponed due to diplomatic tensions.
In Doha, alongside Neeraj Chopra will be Indian thrower Kishore Jena, as well as 2023 and 2024 Diamond League champions Jakub Vadlejch and Anderson Peters. The big miss is Paris Olympics gold medallist Arshad Nadeem, who misses this event.
Doha Diamond League, where Neeraj Chopra will take part, is taking place at the Suheid bin Hamid Stadium.
Neeraj Chopra's event, the men's javelin finals will begin at 10:15 PM IST.
The Doha Diamond League will be streamed on the Wanda Diamond League YouTube channel and Facebook account.

US sporting power backed by dope-tainted athletes; WADA raises red flag over 'Enhanced Games'
In a controversial move, the United States is set to host a multi-sport event known as the ' Enhanced Games ,' where athletes will be allowed to use performance-enhancing substances without being subjected to drug testing. The bold initiative challenges traditional sporting norms and has sparked widespread debate over ethics, safety, and the future of competitive sports. The inaugural edition of the event is scheduled to take place in Las Vegas from May 21 to 24, 2026. Officially launched last month, the Enhanced Games will consist of events in athletics, swimming, and weightlifting. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Husband Sold Son's Car After Bad Grades. Parents Turned Pale When He Did This As Revenge Beach Raider Undo Winners of each event at the Games will receive a prize of $250,000, with an additional $1 million bonus awarded to any athlete who breaks a world record. The lucrative prize pool is part of the organizers' strategy to attract elite competitors, despite widespread criticism of the event's permissive stance on performance-enhancing substances. Live Events WHO IS ARON D'SOUZA? According to the BBC, the Enhanced Games were founded by Aron D'Souza, who originally floated the idea of a pro-doping athletic competition. The controversial project is backed by a venture capital fund that includes high-profile investors such as Donald Trump Jr., son of the US President, and billionaire entrepreneur Peter Thiel. CAN COCAINE AND HEROIN ALSO BE USED? Participants in the Enhanced Games will be allowed to use certain substances that are banned in traditional elite sports; however, drugs such as cocaine and heroin will remain strictly prohibited, reported BBC. Organizers have stated that some doping protocols will be conducted under medical supervision to ensure athlete safety. Only substances approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will be permitted for use by participants in the Enhanced Games. This list differs significantly from the one maintained by the World Anti-Doping Agency ( WADA ), which governs substance use in elite sports. ENHANCED GAMES MUST BE STOPPED: WADA Reacting strongly to the announcement of the Enhanced Games, World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) chief Witold Banka has urged US authorities to intervene and prevent the drug-fueled event from taking place next year. Speaking in Lausanne during an address to Olympic officials, Banka condemned the concept of the Enhanced Games — scheduled for 2026 in Las Vegas — where athletes will be allowed to use performance-enhancing substances. He declared that the event "must be stopped," warning that it poses a serious threat to the integrity and health standards of global sport. "We all must stand up and condemn those who put greed and ego before the well-being of athletes and the values of fair competition," Banka said. "As the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles approach, we cannot allow what should be a celebration of honest sporting endeavor to be overshadowed by this cynical attempt to undermine clean sport. "WADA is now urging the authorities in the US to seek ways to prevent the Enhanced Games from going ahead as planned. For the sake of athletes' health and the purity of sport, it must be stopped."
