The women’s 3000m steeplechase final at the Budapest Worlds will have a tinge of Indian flavour amid an imposing African presence. Meerut girl Parul Chaudhary will compete against long-distance running superstars Faith Cherotich, Beatrice Chepkoech and Jackline Chepkoech of Kenya, Sembo Almayew, Zerfe Wondemagegn and Lomi Muleta of Ethiopia and Uganda’s Peruth Chemutai in Budapest on Sunday.
Parul became only the second Indian female athlete to qualify for the final round of a track event at World Athletics Championships when she finished fifth in her 3000m steeplechase heat.
