Avinash Sable and Neeraj Chopra Set to Shine at Diamond League Final

National record holder Avinash Sable is set to compete in his first Diamond League Final in Brussels, along with renowned javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra. Sable finished 14th in the overall standings, while Chopra accumulated 14 points from two meets. The event takes place on September 13 and 14.

Avinash Sable, the national record holder in the 3000m steeplechase, is poised to make his debut at the Diamond League Final in Brussels. The event, which concludes the season, will also feature star javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra.

Sable, who finished 14th in the overall Diamond League standings, earned his spot among 12 competitors for the winner-takes-all race on Friday. Notably, four higher-ranked athletes bowed out due to various reasons, opening up the opportunity for Sable.

The highly anticipated two-day finale runs on September 13 and 14. Sable will compete on the first day in the men's 3000m steeplechase, while Chopra takes part in the men's javelin throw event on the second day. The winners will receive a coveted 'Diamond Trophy', USD 30,000, and a wildcard entry to the World Athletics Championships.
