Paris 2024 Olympics: Parul Chaudhary finishes eighth in 3000m steeplechase qualification, fails to qualify for final

India’s Parul Chaudhary finished eighth in the women’s 3000m steeplechase qualification at the Paris 2024 Olympics and bowed out from the competition at the Stade de France on Sunday.

Parul finishes in eighth position and she is officially out of her event as only the top five will qualify for the finals. She registered the timing of 9:23:39. 

While it is a Season’s Best time for Parul, it fails to get her into the final.

Uganda’s Peruth Chemutai wins the heat with a timing of 9:10.51. The top five advance to the final.

Parul needs to buckle up as she is running in the 10th place among 12 runners and we have covered 2/3rd of the event. Last 1000m left. 

The first five place finishes in each heat will qualify for the finals. 

Parul is ninth at the moment among 12 runners as we approach the third lap. 

Not a good start for Parul who is at the back of the leader’s pack early in the race but don’t lose hope now. It is a long race and she will have plenty of time to cover the distance. 

World Number 16, India’s Parul Chaudhary will race in heat 1 of the women’s steeplechase race.
