Sable, who trained abroad for many months on Sports Minry’s funding to prepare for this showpiece and was exempted from competing in domestic events, clocked 8 minute and 22.24 seconds to finish seventh in heat number one.
Only the top five finishers in the three heats make it to the final round.
Sable was expected to at least make it to the finals, if not win a medal. His performance is a huge disappointment for the Indian camp.
He holds the national record of 8:11.20.
