The day's events also feature several exciting competitions. In skeet shooting, table tennis, sailing, and women's freestyle wrestling, Indian athletes will be in action. Avinash Sable will compete in the Men’s 3000m Steeplechase Round 1, while Kiran Pahal will run in the Women’s 400 meters Round 1.


Sable, who previously won gold in the men’s steeplechase and silver in the 5000m at the Asian Games, has made an impressive rise from his humble beginnings in Beed district, Maharashtra. His early running talent was spotted by his teacher, leading him to local marathons and later the Indian Army, where he discovered steeplechase. A medal at the Olympics would be a monumental achievement for him.
