Avinash Sable brings cheer with a new mark in the steeplechase.
The elite men’s 4x400m squad was specially flown in from its training base in Europe for the 59th inter-State Athletics Championships to give it a chance to consolidate its spot among the top 16 in the world and at the World Championships next month.
That did not happen. What transpired instead on Friday was a farce that would perhaps now force the AFI to reassess its team combination and hope one of its best medal bets stays on course for the Worlds.
The quartermilers flown in included Muhammed Anas Yahiya, Noah Nirmal Tom, Amoj Jacob and K.S. Jeevan among others. However, with three AFI teams among the seven in the race, the composition was changed on the day of the competition to include Alex Antony and Harsh Baljeet Singh, who had clocked impressive timings in the 400m earlier.
