Diamond League Final 2024: When and where to watch Avinash Sable in action?
Indian steeplechaser Avinash Sable is all set to compete at the Diamond League Final 2024 in the men’s 3000m steeplechase final in Brussels, Belgium on Friday, September 13. The live streaming of the event will be available in India on JioCinema.
The 30-year-old athlete recently made history by becoming the first Indian to qualify for the final in this event at the Paris Olympics 2024. In that race, Sable achieved an impressive time of 8:09.91, setting a new national record and securing a sixth-place finish.
Sable’s journey to the Brussels final wasn't straightforward. He earned his spot after Lamecha Girma, Geordie Beamish, and two other competitors withdrew, allowing him to move into the top 12 rankings. Currently, he holds 14th place on the Diamond League points table with three points.
Sable has been in strong form this season, clocking a personal best at the Paris leg in July and breaking the national record for the 10th time. However, his performance at the Silesia leg in August saw him finish 14th with a time of 8:29.96.
In Brussels, Sable will face tough competition from some of the world’s best, including Soufiane El Bakkali, Amos Serem, and Samuel Firewu. The 20-year-old Firewu, who currently tops the Diamond League standings with 26 points, will be one of the key athletes to watch.
Meanwhile, Serem and Kibiwot are right behind him with 25 and 18 points, respectively. Despite these formidable opponents, Sable’s resilience and recent record-breaking streak make him a contender to watch closely.
