As the excitement from the Paris 2024 Olympics begins to settle, the athletics world turns its attention to the Silesia Diamond League, the 12th meet of the 15-event 2024 season.
This event, scheduled to take place at the Silesian Stadium in Chorzow, Poland, marks the second stop of the Diamond League circuit post Olympics. Known for its high-caliber competition, the Diamond League attracts the world's most elite track and field athletes, offering them the platform to showcase their talent and accumulate crucial points toward the season-ending championship event in Belgium.
Among the star-studded lineup is India's Avinash Sable, fresh off his historic performance at the Paris Olympics, where he became the first Indian to qualify for the final of the men's 3000m steeplechase event. Sable, who finished 11th in the Olympic final with a commendable time of 8:14.18s, will now look to continue his impressive form at the Silesia Diamond League.
