| Sable breaks long-standing 5000m national record | | | agencies
CALIFORNIA, May 7: Tokyo Olympian long-distance runner Avinash Sable broke a 30-year-old 5000m national record here at the Sound Running Track Meet.
Sable clocked 13:25.65s to finish 12th in the race on Friday and broke the previous record of 13:29.70 set by Bahadur Prasad in Birmingham in 1992.
Norway's Jakob Ingebrigtsen, Tokyo Olympic champion in the 1500m, won the race with a time of 13:02.03.
The Sound Running Track Meet is a World Athletics Continental Tour bronze level event.
This was only the second time Sable competed in the 5000m. In his first event, he had won gold medal with a timing of 13:39.43s at the Federation Cup in Kozhikode last month.
The 27-year-old now holds the national record in three events -- 3000m steeplechase, 5000m and half-marathon. He set a half-marathon record in Delhi in 2020. At the Indian Grand Prix in Thiruvananthapuram, he established a new 3000m steeplechase mark earlier this year. |
