Indian track and field athletes Avinash Sable and Kishore Jena who are all set to represent India at the Olympics. But before that, they are eyeing another major track and field event, the Paris Diamond League.
India’s ace 3000-meter steeplechaser Avinash Sable and javelin thrower Kishore Jena aim to make a mark at this event before heading to the Olympics. It is also a best opportunity for them to get into a good rhythm before the global event. However, this time we are not going to witness Neeraj Chopra’s game at the Paris Diamond League, as the 26-year-old world champion has opted out.
Speaking about Avinash Sable and Kishore Jena, it is true that they are not going through a fine patch. Last year, Sable didn’t qualify for the final of the men’s 3000-meter steeplechase at the World Championships in Budapest. Kishore Jena is also facing challenges to score big points.
Why is Neeraj Chopra not participating in the Paris Diamond League?
Neeraj Chopra has decided not to participate in the Paris Diamond League, as the ace javelin thrower will compete directly at the Paris 2024 Olympics. Although there were rumors about him suffering from an adductor niggle, the star recently issued a statement on X and said, ‘ParisDL wasn’t part of my competition calendar this season, so I haven’t ‘withdrawn’ from it. I’m focusing on getting ready for the Olympic Games’.
