“This wasn’t too bad. But we’re very close to the world championships, so I still have to throw a little more.
“I still managed to throw 85 in the last attempt. But today I am very happy for Julian – he really managed to throw away and showed that 91M was really good. We will see in three weeks.
“I still have to train some. We don’t know in this sport. It depends on this day.”
Chopra said that everything in Tokyo would be “different” during the World Championship (13-21 September).
“Julian, he’s a good friend, and I’m always happy when I go well and we’re all forcing each other. There will be some friends who come to me in Tokyo from India.
“I have some friends living there. In the big championships, gold is more important than distant shots. So I will do my best to win the medal.”
Weber’s effort was also the third 90m plus shot of the season, as well as his career. On May 16, he won the title of Doha DL, and violated the 90m occupation with a 91.06m shot.
Chopra also violated the 90m sign with a 90.23m shot in Doha for the first time, but came second behind Weber.
