India’s champion steeplechaser Avinash Sable is pretty satisfied with his fifth-place show at his maiden Diamond League in Rabat, Morocco, recently. 

Sable, 27, the only Indian at the prestigious meet, clocked an impressive 8.12.48, bettering his own national mark (8:16.21) by over three seconds. Sable, who is currently training in Colorado Springs, USA, with coach Scott Simmons, said the experience of competing with the best in the business will keep him in good stead for the upcoming IAAF World Championships to be held in Oregon, USA, from July 15 to 24.
