Guernsey athlete has Commonwealth Games medal hopes dashed

Alastair Chalmers came sixth the 400 metres hurdles at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

Alastair Chalmers was unable to replicate his performance at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games in '22 when he took the bronze medal.

The current British champion started strongly last night (31 July) at the Scotstoun Stadium and was in contention until he clipped the sixth hurdle.

This slowed him and he lost momentum and came home in sixth place, in a time of 50.24 seconds.

This was slower than his qualifying heat earlier in the week, which he won in 48.92 seconds.

The race in Glasgow was won by Ezekiel Nathaniel from Nigeria in 48.47 seconds.

Brit Jake Minshull took silver and Jamaica's Assinie Wilson the bronze.
