Avinash Sable Breaks Steeplechase National Record At Paris Diamond League
Paris Diamond League: India’s 3000m steeplechase runner Avinash Sable's preparation for the 2024 Paris Olympics is off to a flier of a start as the 29-year-old shattered the National Record that he set in the 2021 Commonwealth games (8:11.20) by clocking 8:09.91 to finish sixth at the prestigious Paris Diamond League.
Ethiopia's Abrham Sime narrowly nudged ahead to claim first place ahead of Kenya's Amos Serem and Kenya's Abraham Kibiwot in third place.
Sable previously became the first Indian to qualify in the steeplechase event at the Tokyo Olympics in 2020 since Gulzara Singh Mann in 1952 and bettered the national record at the games but did not manage to qualify for the finals at his first attempt. His preparations and confidence seem to be on track with the Games scheduled to begin on July 26.
