Lausanne Diamond League 2023 Live: India’s ace javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra, who was a gold medallist at the Tokyo Olympics, will be returning to action after a one-month injury lay-off. He is seeking a second straight podium finish of the season at the Lausanne leg of the Diamond League in a star-studded field on Friday.

Murali Sreeshankar will also be competing in the long jump event.
