World Champion Neeraj Chopra looking to repeat heroics at Diamond League in Zurich

New Delhi, Aug 30 (SocialNews.XYZ) The 2023 Wanda Diamond League will host its 11th competition of the season in Zurich, with World Champion Neeraj Chopra looking to continue his hot form.

Long jumper Murali Sreeshankar will also be seen in action.

This will be the third Diamond League event for the defending champion where he sits third in the standings behind Czech Jakub Vadlejch and German Julian Weber.

Both men will form a ten-member strong field including Grenada’s Andersen Peters and Finland’s Oliver Helander, among others.
