For the first time in three years, he will be competing in the Indian domestic event, the Federation Cup, scheduled to take place in Bhubaneswar from May 12 to 15.

Looking ahead, Chopra's focus remains on competing in Diamond League events as part of his Olympic preparation. While it's yet to be confirmed where he will train after the Bhubaneswar event, it's likely to be in Europe, where he will participate in various Diamond League competitions throughout the calendar year.

When asked about his plans to compete in every Diamond League event, Neeraj Chopra mentioned that his coach will make the final decision.

However, Paris Diamond League is the only Diamond League event, where he can compete Paris Diamond League on July 7. Lausanne Diamond League, which includes men's javelin, is scheduled two weeks after the men's javelin final at the Olympics.
