Avinash Sable to Compete in Diamond League Final

Avinash Sable, the national record holder in the 3000m steeplechase, is set to make his Diamond League Final debut in Brussels on September 13, competing alongside javelin star Neeraj Chopra. Sable qualified for the final despite finishing 14th in the overall standings, as several higher-ranked athletes withdrew from the competition. His participation marks a significant milestone following his national record-setting performance of 8:09.91 in Paris, though he faced challenges at the Olympics, finishing 11th. The two-day event will kick off with Sable's race and conclude with Chopra's javelin event, where both athletes aim for the prestigious 'Diamond Trophy' and substantial prize money. Chopra secured his place in the final after notable second-place finishes in Doha and Lausanne, accumulating 14 points in the standings. The stakes are high for both athletes as they compete for a chance at a wildcard entry to the World Athletics Championships.
