Guernsey runner Cameron Chalmers has been knocked out of the 400m at the Commonwealth Games.
The 25-year-old, who was part of Team GB’s mixed 4x400m relay squad at the last Olympics, finished fourth in his heat in a time of 47.49 seconds.
He was not fast enough to claim one of the three fastest loser places, with the top three in each heat progressing.
Chalmers has been struggling with injury and illness throughout the year, which hampered his performance.
It meant he could not emulate his younger brother Alastair, who made the 400m hurdles final on Tuesday.
“I’m pretty lucky to be out running today, so I just tried to enjoy the experience of my second Commonwealth Games,” he told BBC Channel Islands.
“It’s just a shame I’m not in the shape that I’d hoped to be in, it’s been a bit of battle getting to the start line, but I’m glad to come out here and have the experience.”
