Why are 16 athletes taking part in 3000m steeplechase final instead of 15?

Quick Summary:

The men's 3000m steeplechase final in the Paris Olympics, which will also feature India's Avinash Sable, will now have 16 instead of 15 athletes fighting for a place on the podium.

However, in this case, instead of the regular 15, the event saw 16 athletes making their way to the final list.

The incident took valuable seconds off Serem's time in the race and could have also cost him a final spot.
