Sable clinched the 3000m steeplechase at the Indian Athletics Series Final in New Delhi with 8:32.39, proving his comeback was no fluke.
Months after the July 2025 Monaco crash, the 31‑year‑old endured 7‑8 months of rehab for a torn ACL and meniscus, turning routine jogs into a challenge.
Coach Kalyan Chaudhuri praised Sable’s mental toughness, noting that his running mechanics return to normal during race‑specific sessions, even though warm‑ups sometimes feel a touch off.
A thigh strain in Ooty earlier this year forced another pause, but the period between May and mid‑June saw a decisive surge in strength, especially around the knee.
Sable’s latest 5000m run in Belgium clocked 13:45.52, and he says crowded barriers no longer frighten him, a confidence boost ahead of the Asian Games.
With the Asian Games in Nagoya on the horizon, Sable’s focus is singular: reclaim the steeplechase crown and add another gold to his record.
