India’s long-distance runner Avinash Sable continued his impressive run, securing a silver medal in men’s 5000m at the Asian Games on Wednesday. The 29-year-old Indian produced an effort of 13:21.09 to finish second in a spectacular race. Bahrain’s Birhanu Yemataw Balew came up with a Games record effort of 13:17:40 to win the gold, while his compatriot Dawit Fikadu Admasu bagged the bronze with a season best of 13:25:63. Sable thus added another medal to his 3000m steeplechase gold which he had claimed last week. Gulveer Singh missed out on a medal, finishing fourth, despite a personal best effort of 13:29:93.
