Paris Olympic Games: India’s athletics campaign at the 2024 Paris Olympics came to a disappointing end as the men’s and women’s 4X400m relay teams failed to make it to the final rounds at the Stade de France on Friday.

The men’s team consisting of Muhammed Anas, Muhammad Ajmal Variyathodi, Amoj Jacob and Rajesh Ramesh finished fourth in the second heat of Round 1 with a time of 3:00.08 which was their season best.

Despite the top finish, India was not able to crack into the top eight across the two heats which saw them eliminated. Muhammad Ajmal Variyathodi, who ran the second leg for the Indians, recorded the team’s fastest time with 44:55 on the clock.
