Steeplechaser Avinash Sable’s event starts at 12:39 AM IST on September 14 while javelin superstar Neeraj Chopra’s event is scheduled at 11:52 PM IST on the same day.
This is the first time two Indian athletes will compete in a Diamond League Final.
Neeraj Chopra won the Diamond League Final in 2022 and finished second in 2023.
In Diamond League 2024 javelin throw events, the 26-year-old Chopra accumulated 14 points across two meets this season and finished fourth in the overall standings. Chopra finished second in both the Doha leg in May and the Lausanne event last month.
Grenada’s Anderson Peters finished on top of the standings with 29 points while Germany’s Julian Webber was second with 21 points. Jakub Vadlejch of Czechia, the defending champion, finished third with 16 points.
Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem, the Paris 2024 Olympics gold medallist, competed just once in the Diamond League this year. He did not make the cut for the Brussels final.
Sable, meanwhile, finished 14th in the Diamond League standings in the 3000m steeplechase event with three points from two meetings. However, four athletes who finished higher were ruled out of the tournament, helping Sable enter the top 12.
Sable had finished sixth with a national record time of 8:09.91 in the Paris leg of the Diamond League in July and was 14th at the Silesia leg in August.
Soufiane Bakkali, two-time Olympic champion, will feature in Brussels. Kenya’s Abraham Kibiwot, bronze medallist at Paris 2024, also made the cut in the 3000m steeplechase.
