Commonwealth Games 2018: Athletics Men's 400m Final, India's Mohammad Anas going for gold, Live Updates

And that wraps up our live coverage of this final.

Stay tuned to Sportskeeda for all the latest updates from the CWG 2018.

Ciao!

India's athletics is steadily improving and we can hope for better results in the near future.

But don't get disheartened by this near-miss. India has more chances to get medals from track and field.

Keep your eyes open for the highly-talented Tejaswin Shankar in the high jump final tomorrow.

India's Muhammed Anas Yahiya is right behind them at 4th with 45.31 which is a NR.

As you can see, he was very close and he clearly has the potential to do well in big events.

He will surely work harder to convert this near-miss into glory when he gets his next chance.

The top 3 medallists are --

1. Isaac Makwala (Botswana) 44.35
2. Baboloki Thebe (Botswana) 45.09
3. Javon Francis (Jamaica) 45.11 (Season's best)

That was a grand effort from the Indian to come up with his best performance in such a big event.. but he missed the medal narrowly.

Anas misses the medal as he comes up in FOURTH place with a national record of 45.31

Botswana's Makwala takes the GOLD with 44.35

And we are off!

The event is ABOUT TO BEGIN!

And the athletes have already arrived on the track and are warming up.

That itself tells how much determined Anas is to bring glory for India. You can read here and find out how special his achievement is.

Anas became the second Indian to qualify for the final of the 400m in Commonwealth Games since Milkha Singh in 1958.

His season's best and personal best are both 45.32

Anas will start in Lane No. 6 among the eight finalists.

We are minutes from the start! Can Anas create history for India?

Good afternoon! Welcome to the live coverage.

Hello and welcome to Sportskeeda's live coverage of Athletics Men's 400m Final. Stay tuned for updates!

The 23-year-old Keralite Mohammad Anas will look to end his campaign on a high note. He specialises in the 400 metres event and this is his best chance of winning a medal.

Day 6 of the Commonwealth Games progresses with hopes of winning many more medals just as they did yesterday. In shooting, India's Gagan Narang & Chain Singh qualified for the finals of the 50m Rifle Prone Men's but Gagan Narang finished 7th & Chain Singh finished 4th in the Final. Annu Singh and Heena Sidhu followed suit and reached the Finals of Women's 25m Pistol Finals with Heena Sindhu winning gold. This was India's first gold of the day. Meanwhile, the Indian Men's Hockey team confirmed their spot in the Semifinals beating Malaysia in the morning and reaching the top of the table with 7 points. The Indians have also done well in Squash and Badminton.
