Paris:Avinash Sable broke his own national record in the 3000m steeplechase by finishing sixth in eight minutes 9.91 seconds at the Diamond League competition in Paris. In this way, he showed that he is getting into the rhythm for the first time before the Paris Olympics. The 29-year-old Sable broke his previous national record of 8:11.20 seconds which he set in 2022.
In this way, he achieved a better time of one and a half seconds. Ethiopia’s Abraham Sime finished first in a ‘photo finish’ with a time of 8:02.36 from Kenya’s Amos Serem (8:02.36). Kenya’s Abraham Kibiwott finished third with a time of 8:06.70. Sable had set a national record two years ago by winning a silver medal at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham and he was successful in breaking it. This was his 10th national record-breaking performance.

He had thrown 76.31 meters in the Doha Diamond League and 75.49 meters in the Federation Cup. Current Olympic and world champion javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra had decided not to play in this competition due to a thigh problem. In such a situation, Neeraj Chopra will now show his talent directly in the Paris Olympics. Neeraj did not want to take any risk regarding fitness just before the Olympics. This is absolutely right for the Indian Olympic team, because they are one of the strong contenders to win the medal.
