The 400m specialist qualifies for the World Championship

Muhammed Anas qualified for the World Championship in style by breaking his own National record with a time of 45.32 seconds in the men’s 400 metres in the third Indian Grand Prix athletics meet at the Nehru Stadium here on Monday.

The 22-year-old beat Arokia Rajiv by one second, as he erased his mark of 45.40 set in Poland last year, a time that helped him qualify for the Rio Olympics.

Like everyone, Anas was surprised by the time and record. He said that the hard work for the past few months back home in Kerala had helped him tune nicely. It is a nice progression in preparation for the Federation Cup and the Asian Championship scheduled over the next two months, before the World Championship in August in London.

It was also not exactly a surprise as Anas had clocked 45.69 in the Asian Grand Prix in Chinese Taipei, after having missed the first two meets in China owing to visa issues. He had clocked 45.89 in the first Indian Grand Prix in Patiala and had skipped the second in Delhi on May 11.

Jisna Mathew, a trainee of P.T. Usha, beat favourite M.R. Poovamma by eight-hundredth of a second with a time of 52.65 in the women’s race. The World Championship qualification standard of 52.10 was too stiff for her.

While Husandeep Singh of Chandigarh won the men’s 100 metres in 10.69 seconds, Dutee Chand could not work up any magic while beating Merlin Joseph with a time of 11.30 seconds in the women’s race.

In the absence of World junior champion Neeraj Chopra, Davinder Singh asserted his ability once again, after having clinched his sport for World Championship in Patiala, by winning the men’s javelin with a 81.53 metres in his fifth throw.

India had won seven medals in the first leg on April 24 and six (1 gold, 4 silver, 1 bronze) in the second leg.

Muhammed Anas got over the disappointment of missing out on the first two legs of the Asian Grand Prix and won the 400m gold in the third leg here on Sunday with an impressive 45.69s, just 0.19s off the World Championships qualifying time.

This was the national record holder’s first race of the season after he and M.R. Poovamma were denied visas by China for the Asian GP’s two earlier legs in Jinhua and Jiaxing.

“I missed the qualification time narrowly but it will come soon,” the 22-year-old, whose national record of 45.40s in Poland last year earned him a Rio Olympics slot, told The Hindu over phone.

Om Prakash Karhana, also a National record holder, won the shot put gold with a 19.58m.

Jinson Johnson and Asian champion Tintu Luka were both beaten at the tape and had to settle for silver in the men’s and women’s 800m.

Dutee Chand in the 100m and National record holder in shot-put Manpreet Kaur were the others to win silver medals. Dutee’s 11.52s was her season’s best.

Neeraj Chopra, the under-20 World champion who qualified for the World Championships with an 82.32m at the second leg in Jiaxing three days ago, took the men’s javelin bronze while Asian Games bronze medallist Poovamma picked up the women’s 400m bronze in 53.11s.
