Neeraj Chopra achieved a significant milestone by breaking the 90-meter barrier in javelin throw at the Doha Diamond League in May 2025, with a throw of 90.23m. Despite this achievement, his performance at the World Championships resulted in an 8th-place finish due to a back injury, marking his first non-podium finish in 26 tournaments. Meanwhile, Sachin Yadav showed promise by finishing fourth in the same World Championships with a throw of 86.27m, and Gulveer Singh set a new Asian Indoor record in the 5,000m event.
