Indian javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra secured two major international victories in June 2025, reaffirming his status as a leading athlete in the sport. On June 20, Chopra won the Paris Diamond League men's javelin throw event with a first-round throw of 88.16 meters, narrowly defeating Germany's Julian Weber, who recorded a best effort of 87.88 meters. Brazil's Mauricio Luiz da Silva finished third with a throw of 86.62 meters. This victory marked Chopra's fifth Diamond League meet win and his first major title of 2025, ending a two-year gap since his last Diamond League triumph.

Four days later, on June 24, Chopra continued his winning streak by clinching the javelin throw title at the Ostrava Golden Spike 2025 meet in the Czech Republic with a best throw of 85.29 meters. This was Chopra's debut appearance at the Golden Spike event, a Gold-level competition on the World Athletics Continental Tour. Despite winning, Chopra expressed a desire to improve his performance ahead of the World Championship. These back-to-back wins highlight Chopra's return to top form following injury-related absences in 2023 and 2024. Chopra is a two-time Olympic medallist and the reigning world champion, having previously made history by winning India's first Olympic gold in javelin at the Tokyo 2020 Games.
