Doha, March 27 The season-opening Diamond League in Doha, where India's javelin star Neeraj Chopra broke the 90m mark last season, is currently scheduled to proceed as planned on May 8, although organizers are monitoring the situation arising from the military conflict in the region.
Chopra, who had thrown his spear to 90.23m on May 16 last year, had also started his season at the Qatar capital in 2023 and 2024. He won the title in 2023 and finished second in 2024.
The organizers said a final decision will be made no later than a month before the scheduled date.
"The Wanda Diamond League meeting in Doha is currently scheduled to proceed as planned on May 8," organizers said in a statement on Friday.
"The Diamond League continues to monitor the situation in Doha, working in close coordination with meeting organizers, the Qatar Athletics Federation, relevant authorities in Qatar, and World Athletics.
"The safety of athletes and spectators is our primary concern, and we are also exploring alternative options with all stakeholders."
