Doha, Qatar: Olympic champion javelinist Neeraj Chopra fell short at the Doha Diamond League on Friday as America's Kenny Bednarek scorched to a world-leading 19.67sec 200 metres as the Paris Olympics looms.
Chopra's final throw of 88.36m was just two centimetres behind his Czech rival Jakub Vadlejch, who took silver behind the Indian at the Tokyo 2020 Games.
Elsewhere, Tokyo 2020 gold medallist Steven Gardiner said he was "just where I wanted to be" after a dominant 400m win at Qatar Sports Club Stadium, 11 weeks before the Paris Games.
And Kenyan world title-holder Mary Moraa held off Britain's Jemma Reekie to win the women's 800m by half a second in 1:57.91, her season's best.
After Doha, there are seven more Diamond League meets around the world -- including Paris on July 7 -- before the Olympics start on July 26.
