Lausanne Diamond League: Why Chopra has more at stake than revenge against Pathirage

Neeraj Chopra faces Rumesh Tharanga Pathirage for the third time this season in Lausanne, looking to end his rival’s 2-0 advantage. Chopra also needs valuable Diamond League points to secure qualification for the Brussels final. Pathirage arrives in dominant form, having won eight of nine competitions and produced the world-leading 92.62m throw this season.
