Paris Olympics: Parul Chaudhary fails to make women’s 3000m steeplechase final

The Indian runner finished eighth in Heat 1. The four-time national champion in the 3000m steeplechase clocked her season-best time of 9:23.39 at the Stade de France. The 29-year-old is the national record holder in women’s 3000m steeplechase and 5000m. She won gold in 5000m and silver in 3000m steeplechase at the Asian Games in Hangzhou last year. Parul is the first Indian woman to win gold in the 5,000m race at the Asian Games.
