BRUSSELS, August 22, 2025 - Grenada’s javelin star Anderson Peters produced another strong performance on Friday, finishing third in the Men’s Javelin Throw at the Brussels Diamond League in Belgium.
The two-time World Champion showed consistency throughout the competition, registering five of his six throws beyond the 83-metre mark. His best effort came on his sixth and final attempt, measuring 85.17 metres, which secured his spot on the podium.
The competition was fierce, with Julian Weber of Germany claiming victory with a throw of 89.65m, while 2012 Olympic champion Keshorn Walcott of Trinidad & Tobago secured second place at 86.30m.
For Peters, the performance was another reminder of his elite standing in global athletics. The Grenadian, who stormed onto the international stage by winning back-to-back World Championship titles
titles in 2019 and 2022, has continued to battle his way back to top form following setbacks due to injuries. His showing in Brussels is the latest in a series of steady performances this season, keeping him among the world’s best as athletes build momentum toward upcoming global meets.

The Brussels stop is part of the Wanda Diamond League series, which brings together the top names in track and field. Peters’ third-place finish reinforces the Caribbean’s growing impact in the field events, with Walcott joining him on the podium.
As the season winds down, Peters will look to maintain his sharpness and remain a podium threat, with eyes already turning toward next month’s world championships.
