India is set to bid for the 2029 World Athletics Championships, but Chopra said the country can host other global competitions of smaller scale before that. &ldquo;It will be good if we host the 2029 World Championships but, 2029 is a long way to go. India can host some big global competitions like Continental Tour event [of World Athletics] before that. Such an event will keep Indian fans interested in athletics.,&rdquo; Chopra told PTI in an interview felicitated by Switzerland Tourism.&nbsp;
&ldquo;If international track and field stars come to India and compete against Indian athletes, it will be good for the country&rsquo;s athletes and fans alike,&rdquo; added the reigning world champion, who will resume training soon. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve yet to chalk out a final plan. We&rsquo;ll do that in March, but most probably I&rsquo;ll start competition in May.&rdquo;
