3,000 m is the steeple chase of course 7 and 1/2 laps that is what it's going to take there it is the start of the 3,000 M steeple chase for men is the final Ain sa of India one of the key contenders with a personal best of 8 1120 Arjuna award recipient in 202 22 well that man knows exactly how to time things in this uh in this sport the 3,000 M steeple chase he's on the outside of that good drooping wants to be ahead in the race to make sure he's found that momentum the Japanese are not too far behind in incomes the Katari on the right the Saudi Runner is there as well but AAS sabl very much in the hunt, he cles the first hurdle he's looking good he's looking nice and I was just going to ask Manish if I wonder what kind of race are we going to get are we going to get a fast race are we going to get a slow race is it a pack going to dominate this race Ain sa the question I was going to ask is is he going to go back in the pack or is he going to lead it seems as if he is.
Leading tundra pal sing to he will look to lead with his second throw goes on the rotation tundra pal sing th and not his best throw and it is not even a legal throw pressure will be on him, Manish because he has to get a throw in qualify for the last three throws and his first three first two throws are not valid throws are not legal throws so a bit of a surprise coming here from the short putt competition where India Chandra pal sing that has yet to register a throw in case your in case you're wondering if Nika Zarin backs the Bronze in the women's 45 to 50 kg a medal added to India's Kitty all right but uh she would have liked the goal she was one of the top contenders the top Contender especially after she beat Wiam in the the first round in the very first round World Championship final both of them faced off against.
Each other and she has of course made it to the Olympic Games because of her weight category all four semi-finalists get into the Olympic Games so Nikad Zarin is headed to Paris but I completely agree with you that she would have preferred and all of us would have liked her to finish with gold but there's a surprise here there is a problem with the a short part competition where India's medal hopeful gold medal hopeful is yet to register his first distance his first throwback to the men's 3,000 M steeple Chase Avinash sablé once again very comfortably hopping over that uh steeple Chase barrier he's got uh he's a thin Man but you know he's got a lot of energy reserves in that tank looks very comfortable and easy technique as well uh as I said lives a very rigorous life as an Indian army man so discipline is a part of his DNA is a part of his life as well now look at the Gap, he's opened up between himself and the runner in number two so the only question is can he keep this.
Going with the same intensity because the others will have a certain energy Reserve that they will kick in at some stage with a lot of time left in this race is of course the men 3,000 M Staple Chase the Japanese not too far behind at number two is Alamani from Saudi Arabia, the Qataris now coming in from the outside as well as five barriers on the track in the steeple Chase remembers one of them of course is a water jump so it's a very tactical race all right but these barriers make it is even more difficult when we have four laps to go and Avians Sablé has opened up a 30 m lead over his nearest rival there's a lot of time remaining of course in this 3,000 M style Chase and the thing with the 3,000 m it is neither a middle distance neither is it a 5,000 10,000 or a marathon that's why the training is tricky it's hard the competition is not the easiest coming towards the water jump now where so often you see a mistake being made no mistakes there of course by Ain Sabl as he clears the water.
[Applause] jump we remember well there it Is Ainash Sablé continuing to maintain in his lead while we watch Ainash in action he's looking at himself on the big screen for sure Narin has backed the bronze another medal added to India's Kitt Katar's Ali well about 25 or 30 m behind a sa three laps to go can this be gold it looks like it could be gold AAS sab one of the key contenders finish Mukund said we must give credit to his army coach Amish Kumar who spotted this man's ability trying to clear the hurdles and said steeple chase is going to be your sport young man is he slowing down is he trying to conserve his energy for that last bit that last stretch where everyone else will have power in the Kataria is coming so are the Chinese things change very quickly Sid in this sport you spoke about how this is the mix of Sprint and a marathon I think the the approach is also a mix of some parts you run like a marathon you conserve your energy and in some parts where it matters the most you press on the.
Accelerator and uh and just go for the kill will finish sablé remain in the lead and confirm another goal Foria that's the big question he doesn't want this to turn into a 200 M Sprint at the end and that is why he's doing what AAR says very often does in the steeper Chase he opens up a lead and what that does is Manish it takes out most of the competition as you can see Bab Aoki and Ali are his main competitors now I think Bab and Aoki, there's just too much work to do for them now to cover up on the silver and the gold it is between Ali and it is between Ali and AAS sa, this is wonderful running by AAS sa and the question that remains now is of course can he finish well the good thing is he's continuing to look at the big screen clearly can't look behind cuz that might cost him the lead as well he's continuing to look at the screen to figure where the number two is how far behind is he is someone breathing breathing down his neck not on this.
Camera not on this visual here at this stage there is nobody even close to to he finish sabl not too far from finishing it remember he was a silver medalist at the 2019 Asian championships won a silver at the 2022 commonweal games as well as the first Indian to win a medal in that event at the CWG this man is in the mood for a gold finish burn saav all of 29 years of age world number 14 we saw him first do his thing at the Olympics this is the final La then Ain Mukul sablé has slowed down a little bit but the the lead that he has F perhaps allow him to make sure it doesn't really cost him he knows what's he what he's going for this is a big one is the goal coming the whole of India awaits with baited bread for this man to cross that Finish Line finish MAV now takes a quick look behind all those Runners the number two is way behind him is the goal coming looks like it is the lead now way past the 100 me Mark that's the man in the number two position Qadar's Ali looking for silver now the Japanese coming.
Behind as well there are two Japanese and the Qatari but a Su is the man that is in Focus 1. 4 billion Indians looking at this man for a track and field goal will this man win his first-ever Asian Games gold medal it looks like it's only a formality it's only a matter of time inching closer to that Finish Line India's finish mukun sa is here as he approaches that last barrier he is going for gold a for finish a for an absolute Ace of a man here it is the Asian Games gold medal for India's Avinash M sa the first gold medal then from track and field for India has come in the 3,000 M men's Ste Chase final and we had all expected it but we thought it would be tougher than this Ali Bab Aoki were all in the field but Finish Sablé has one gold he missed it in the Commonwealth Games but he has not missed a trick here here the pacing strategy by acinar sablé was Perfection itself it took him two laps before he went into the lead and once he went into the lead he had the big screen to guide.
He timed his race to Perfection and knew what is the distance between him and the racers behind him cleared the water barriers without a glitch cleared the rest of the barriers without a problem and when it came to the last lap he turned it into a formality this is the superiority and the domination of Ain Sav over the rest of his peers in Asia the fourth gold medal in track and field is here it comes from the 3,000 M men's Steeple Chase and this is the man who has won it's India's 12th goal at the Asian Games Japan part of the podium as well well this was more like a Sabl Chase for the others in two and three finish té was way ahead for the longest part he was in the lead by 25 30 m a big smile on the faces of the others in the Indian contingent as well as uh the Indian supporters the goal for India in the men's 3,000 M steeple chase terrific news from Hango 2022 come on come on come on, one more left new Li sports with real lemons glucose.
Electrolytes and no gas time for faster rehydration we've seen the Brilliance of of V sa who's won Gold in track and field and we saw a frame of Parul Chri who will be taking the field a little later on she will be looking to replicate what ainash sa has done and it is absolutely brilliant missed it but just a little bit in the Commonwealth Games but he is flanked by the two Japanese Runners Aoki I thought would be on the podium but the surprise there is neither Ali neither Bakara of Qatar will be joining Ainash sablé Tada and Aoki will be taking Silva and bronze but the big news coming from Trackfield is Ain sa has won Gold.
