The Asian Games Master and the National Record holder of Sable failed to complete the event of the Steeplechasese 3000m Steeplechase men on Friday when he fell during the water jump at the beginning of the race. When he left the race, he saw his lower thigh area just on the back of the knee.
“Sable suffered a minor injury around his knee. He will relax and should be fine in one or two weeks to the maximum. There is not much worry,” said Kumar, who is with the Army Sports Institute in Pune.
“He (Sable) tried to protect the runners from who just jumped over the water barrier. While he did, he fell – these things happen in the race,” he added.
The athlete lost his balance before him and dropped down, which also caused Sable to trip over.
