Asian Relay Championships: Already qualified for the upcoming 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, the Indian men's and women's 4x400m relay teams could only finish with silver medals in the inaugural edition of the Asian Relay Championships 2024 on Tuesday.

After the Mixed Relay Team's record-setting run here that fetched it a gold medal, expectations were high that the men's and women's teams would also emerge as champions ahead of the Paris Olympic Games. Heavy rains in Bangkok also seem to have had an impact on their run. The men’s relay quartet of Muhammed Anas Yahiya, T. Santosh Kumar, Mijo Chacko Kurian, and Arokia Rajiv clocked 3:05.76 amidst heavy rains in Bangkok to finish behind the Sri Lanka team, which ended with a time of 3:04.48.

The Vietnam (3:07.37) edged out Qatar to secure the bronze medal.
