29-year-old Avinash Sable is getting ready for the Diamond League final, but how is this possible, considering he finished 14th in the overall Diamond League standings? He had just three points to his name. However, he is now all set to participate in the season final with the top 12.
The reason behind this is that four players who were ranked higher than him pulled out. Ethiopian Lamecha Girma, the world record holder, had a horrific accident at the Paris 2024 Olympics, while Geordie Beamish of New Zealand, Ryuji Mura of Japan, and Hillary Bor of the USA also withdrew, giving Sable a boost. Now, we will see him take charge in the finals of the Diamond League in Brussels.
