Avinash Sable is the first Indian track athlete to qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympics
Two weeks back, Avinash Sable became the first Indian track athlete to qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympics. He finished sixth in the 3000m steeplechase event at the Silesia Diamond League 2023 athletics meet to earn qualification for the prestigious event. By clocking at an impressive time frame of 8:11.63 in Poland, he made the cut for his much-awaited second appearance in the Olympics.
It should be noted that the qualifying standard for the 3000m steeplechase event is set as 8:15.00. Those falling below that will not be considered for the forthcoming Olympics whereas, Avinash has made his name already.
In the Silesia Diamond League 2023 athletics meet, he fell short by a narrow margin to surpass his personal best of 8:11.20, which is also considered a national record.
Notably, Avinash Sable earlier took part in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and only ran in the heat setting a national record. He could not qualify for the final back then but is striving to break boundaries this time.
