Tokyo [Japan], July 30 (ANI): India's Avinash Mukund Sable failed to qualify for the men's 3000m steeplechase final here at Olympic Stadium on Friday.

Running in heat 2, Sable finished with a timing of 8:18.12 on 7th position and improved on the National Record of 8:20.20. He had clocked his PB at 24th National Federation Cup Senior Athletics Championships earlier this year in Patiala.

Abraham Kibiwot of Kenya topped the heat with 8:12.25 and Ethiopia's Wale Getnet came second. Along with the top two, Ahmed Abdelwahed of Italy qualified for the final.

Sable tried to be a pace-setter for almost one and a half lap in the run but soon Abraham and Getnet took the lead from Indian. (ANI)
