The national record holder, who has already met the Olympic qualifying standard for Paris, broke his own meet record of 8:33.19 seconds, which he achieved in Lucknow five years prior. He now has a time of 8:31.75 seconds. He had also not competed in the Inter-State meet since that time. Sable was happy with his performance despite the slow race, claiming to have only run between 75 and 80 percent.
