World Athletics Championships: Sable’s plans go awry in slow final

The Hindu  

Avinash Sable had led the pack for nearly half the race in his 3000m steeple chase heat at the World Athletics Championships here while finishing seventh overall late last week. And Olympian Sable, who was near the back of the pack for most part of the race in his second Worlds final, could not do much in the end and finished 11th in 8:31.75s. Sable, the Asian silver medallist who was 13th at the last Worlds in Doha in 2019, has been on a record-breaking spree the last couple of years. But whatever plans Sable had in mind for the Worlds final went for a toss in the slow race.
