India's track and field athlete, Avinash Sable, has set a national record at the Sound Running Track meet in San Juan Capistrano, USA. The 27-year-old clocked 13:25.65 seconds to cover 5000m. In the process, he broke a 30-year-old record held by former Indian middle-distance runner, Bahadur Prasad. Prasad had set a national record of 13:29.70 seconds in Birmingham back in 1992. Here's more.

Performance

The Sound Running Track meet is a World Athletics Continental Tour bronze-level event. Norway's Jakob Ingebrigtsen grabbed gold with a timing of 13:02.03 seconds. Notably, the 21-year-old was also the winner of the 1,500m event during the Tokyo Olympics. He had clocked 3:28.32 seconds, which is both an Olympic and European record. Sable, meanwhile, finished 12th in the lately concluded event (13:25.65 seconds).

Career

Sable attained the feat in 8:29.80 seconds. In the 2019 Federation Cup, Sable clocked a then-national record of 8:28.94 seconds.
