Neeraj is set to participate in the Ostrava Golden Spike 2025 athletics meet in June in the Czech Republic. He was supposed to participate in the event in 2023 and 2024, too, but pulled out due to injuries.

“I am excited to announce that I will take part in the Golden Spike meeting in Ostrava this year. It’s a legendary race, and this year will be exceptional. My coach Jan Železný has not only won there many times, but also acts as the director of the whole event,” Neeraj said.

“I feel great and I hope you will see really nice and far-reaching feasts. I look forward to meeting you all,” he added.

In May, he will also be seen in action at the Doha Diamond League and the inaugural Neeraj Chopra Classic in Bengaluru. But due to the ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan, there is a chance that the NC Classic could be cancelled or postponed.
