Avinash Sable looked like a man on a mission on Sunday.
After being left in tears following an unsuccessful World Athletics Championships 2023, where he finished 7th in his men’s 3000m steeplechase heat and failed to make it to the final, Sable battled his demons to finish at the top of the podium.
It was an absolute one-sided race, with no one even in the frame when Avinash crossed the finish line.
He finished the race with a timing of 8:19:50s and smashed the Asian Games record.
It was not only India's first track and field gold at Asian Games 2023 but he also became the first Indian ever to win 3000m steeplechase gold in Asian Games.
He had also won a silver at Commonweath Games 2022.
