Both Sable and Jena have not been in the best of forms and have not competed in too many events ahead of the Paris Games but they would be looking to get acclimatised to the conditions of the city which will host the Olympics.
Sable, 29, has competed in just two 3000m steeplechase events—Portland Track Festival in the USA and the National Inter-State Championships in Panchkula, Haryana last week.
