Aug 28, 2025

It was Germany's Julian Weber who topped the field with a massive throw of 91.51 m, which came on his second attempt. He performed two massive 91-plus throws in his first two attempts. Neeraj did not have the best night, starting with two throws in the early 80s, following it with three disappointing fouls, which put his top-two finish streak under threat, but in his final throw of 85 m plus, he came in clutch to extend his run of top-two finishes to twenty six successive events. Keshorn Walcott, the 2012 London Olympics gold medalist from Trinidad and Tobago, finished in third spot with the best throw of 84.95m.
