Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra returned to action in style with a gold medal in the men's javelin event at the prestigious Paavo Nurmi Games in Turku, Finland on Tuesday, June 18.

Neeraj Chopra took the Gold with a best effort of 85.97m, well short of his season-best effort.

It was a solid series from Neeraj who tested his fitness and form in a high-quality eight-man field.

Finland’s Toni Keränen took silver with a new personal best of 84.19m while Helander won bronze with 83.96m. Lassi Etelätalo, another local athlete, finished last with 79.35m.
