Indians to participate in Xiamen Diamond League 2025

On Saturday, Avinash Sable will take part in the men’s 3000m steeplechase at the 2025 Xiamen Diamond League in China. As India’s most successful steeplechaser, Sable holds the national record for the 3000m steeplechase at 8:09.91 set at the Paris Diamond League in July 2024.

This race will be his first of the 2025 athletics season following his last appearance at the Diamond League Final in Brussels in September. Two years ago, Sable competed in Xiamen and finished fifth with an 8:16.27 time.

This performance earned him a place in the Diamond League final, which he later skipped to focus on the Asian Games, where he won a historic gold medal.
