Three consecutive defeats for Chopra as Pathirana claims gold

Ramesh Pathirana has now denied Neeraj Chopra a win for the third straight meet. Earlier this season, the Sri Lankan bested Chopra at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, earning gold while Chopra earned silver. A month later in Doha’s Diamond League, Pathirana again finished ahead. The pattern continued in Lausanne, reinforcing Pathirana’s rise as a serious threat in men’s javelin.
