Goodnight!

Chopra might have missed out on a medal but the way he keeps raising the bar under pressure is a sign of a true champion. He produced his best performance in a field that had the Olympic and the world champion. Only better things are to come for this Indian wunderkind in the future!

So, Rohler gets the gold (91.78m), Vetter the silver (91.56m) and Hoffman the bronze (90.08m).

Chopra finished in fourth right behind them at 87.43m -- a personal best and a new national record.

Both Rohler and Vetter fouled their final attempts.

It's a battle among the three Germans now as to who will take which coloured medal!!

Each of the three Germans produced a throw over 90m. That was a performance of sterling quality in such a competitive field!

Chopra currently just behind them with a personal best and a new Indian national record!

Chopra fouled his final attempt, so he cannot grab a medal here. The Germans have been too dominant.

And Chopra pushed to the fourth position now after Germany's Andreas Hofmann produces 90.08m in his third attempt.

Current standings after 2 attempts -

Rohler: 91.78m
Vetter: 91.56m
Chopra: 87.43m

Only the two illustrious Germans -- Vetter and Rohler -- are ahead of Chopra at the moment.

Chopra pushed to the third position after Thomas Rohler produces a BIG 91.78m to snatch the lead from Vetter!

That was a show of maturity from the youngster. But the show is not over yet.

IT'S A NATIONAL RECORD AND A PERSONAL BEST FOR CHOPRA!!!!

THIS IS JUST HUGE!!!!!

CHOPRA PRODUCES HIS CAREER-BEST THROW TO GO UP TO THE SECOND POSITION!!!!!

THIS IS MASSIVE!!!!

HE PRODUCES 87.43m

Qatar's own Ahmed Bader Magour, who fouled his first attempt, produces a huge 83.71m in the second attempt. He pushes Chopra to the fifth position.

Chopra is now in FOURTH POSITION

Germany's Andreas Hofmann snatches the second position with 87.14m

Probably he is still getting used to the hot and humid conditions in Doha.

Clearly, Chopra has the capability to do way better than this, like he proved in Gold Coast with a massive 86.47m, that was also his season's best.

The first attempt of all the 10 throwers have been completed.

Chopra demoted to the third position now.

MASSIVE, MASSIVE THROW FROM WORLD CHAMPION VETTER!

HE COMES UP WITH 91.56m to lead the field now

Olympic champion Thomas Rohler comes up with 80.64m to be trailing right behind Chopra now

One of Chopra's biggest competitors -- Vadlejch -- has produced a 80.14 to be in third now.

Kirt has produced a 82.77m
