Ostrava, June 24 -- In five days, two-time Olympic medallist Neeraj Chopra claimed his second title after standing triumphant in the javelin throw contest at the 64th Ostrava Golden Spike event on Tuesday.

The reigning world champion, Neeraj, the only person to clear an 85m-plus distance, finished at the top with a throw of 85.29m and registered his 24th straight top-two finish. He continued to extend his dominance, especially after reigning supreme in the Paris Diamond League title last Friday with a mammoth throw of 88.16m.

South Africa's Douw Smit, who registered a throw of 84.12m in his second try, finished second, followed by Grenada's Anderson Peters in third with 83.63m that came in his opening attempt.
