[Python] Async function is not working asynchronously

I have a question.

I wrote a simple code that mimics http request:

from asyncio import sleep, run


async def get():
print("Started get()")
await sleep(3)
print("Finished get()")


async def async_main():
await get()
await get()
await get()


if __name__ == "__main__":
run(async_main())


I expected that the result should be like:

Started get()
Started get()
Started get()
(No output, just wait 3 seconds)
Finished get()
Finished get()
Finished get()


But the result was:

Started get()
(No output, just wait 3 seconds)
Finished get()
Started get()
(No output, just wait 3 seconds)
Finished get()
Started get()
(No output, just wait 3 seconds)
Finished get()


Why is this happening?
