Doha Diamond League- Neeraj Chopra to Launch First Throw of 2025

Doha Diamond League- Neeraj Chopra to Launch First Throw of 2025

 Indian javelin specialist Neeraj Chopra will begin his 2025 athletics campaign in the Doha Diamond League on May 16. After struggling with injury throughout 2024, Chopra is now eyeing greater distances and consistency this season. Chopra was the 2023 champion with an 88.67m performance and 2024 was 88.36m second to Jakub Vadlejch.

Looking back at his journey, Chopra said, “Last year gave me lots of experience but for me the highlight was being on the podium for India again at the Olympic Games. I am training free of any injury and really enjoying the hard work I’ve been putting in with Jan Zelezny.”

In 2024, Chopra faced a struggle with a groin injury but still went on to take a silver medal at the Paris Olympics where Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem won a gold medal with an Olympic record. He competed in the Diamond League Final with a fracture.

Focusing on his plan for the new season, Chopra said, “ I understand that when I am competing (in Doha) the fans have huge expectations of me. Under the right conditions in the right atmosphere, that’s definitely attainable. For me that’s more important than going after a number.”

Following the Doha league, Chopra will set up camp at the Neeraj Chopra Classic in Haryana on May 24. The one day event, which is a World Athletics ‘A’ category meet is yet another chance for the athlete to showcase his skills on home soil.

As Chopra begins his 2025 season, supporters and followers are excited for his performances in the hopes of experiencing a year full of great throws and unshakable consistency.

Exposing the Brotherhood: Why Jordan’s Terror Cell Bust Must Spark a Global Policy Shift

 The recent dismantling of a Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated terror cell in Jordan should not be seen as just a national security success—it must be a turning point in how the international community views and responds to the threat posed by the Brotherhood. Jordanian security forces uncovered an elaborate network of terrorists trained in Lebanon and backed by foreign interests. Their mission: to launch attacks using rockets and drones, destabilizing the Kingdom and spreading fear among civilians. This is not the work of activists or political dissidents—this is terrorism, plain and simple. For too long, the Muslim Brotherhood has operated under a false image of moderation, cleverly navigating between political activism and violent extremism. But the truth is clear: the Brotherhood is the ideological engine room of jihadist terrorism. Its members, affiliates, and offshoots have inspired and directed acts of violence from North Africa to the Gulf—and now, once again, in Jordan. Govern...
