New Delhi: Indian quarter-miler Mohammad Anas qualified for the Rio Olympics by shattering the men’s 400m national record on the second day of Polish Athletics Championship at Bydgoszcz.

With it, he became the 21st Indian track and field athlete to qualify for the upcoming Games. The Kerala athlete shattered his own national record of 45.44 seconds, which he set on Friday on the first day of the same competition at the Polish city. Rajiv Arokia, whose national record of 45.47 seconds Anas broke on Friday, finished second with a timing of 45.60 seconds. Anas had won a silver in the Federation Cup National Athletics Championships here in April with a timing of 45.74 seconds.
