Indian javelin throw star Neeraj Chopra has revealed how some words of advice from his Kenyan counterpart Julius Yego proved decisively helpful in calming his racing mind before he pulled off a season’s best effort to finish second in the Diamond League here.
The 26-year-old was in fourth spot on Thursday night at the end of the fourth round before managing a throw of 85.58m in his fifth attempt that kept him inside the top three. His final attempt of 89.49m helped him finish second behind Grenada’s Anderson Peters (90.61m).
