About two weeks ago, Avinash Sable scripted history by becoming the first Indian track athlete to earn his place in the Paris Olympics 2024. His commendable sixth-place finish at the Silesia Diamond League 2023 athletics meet in the 3000m steeplechase event assured him a berth in the prestigious games. By recording a remarkable time of 8:11.63 in Poland, Sable paved the way for his much-anticipated second Olympic appearance. The challenging qualifying standard for the 3000m steeplechase, set at 8:15.00, stands as a hurdle for many athletes. However, Sable effortlessly surpassed this mark and established his prowess in the sport.
In the Silesia Diamond League 2023, Sable narrowly missed out on beating his personal best of 8:11.20, which holds a distinguished position as a national record. His initial encounter with the Olympics was at the 2020 Tokyo games, where he succeeded in establishing a national record during the heats but could not progress to the finals.
