Doha, Qatar: Abderrahman Samba yesterday stayed on track to bag a second medal at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo after the Qatar men’s 4x400 metres team advanced to the final in an impressive manner.
The Qatari quartet of Samba, Ammar Ismail, Bassem Hemeida and Ismail Abakar clocked a time of 3:00.15 minutes to set a new national record, finishing just behind South Africa, who topped the heat with a time of 2:58.81 minutes.
The Netherlands also qualified from the same heat, posting a season-best time of 3:00.23 minutes, while the formidable US team failed to advance, finishing in a disappointing sixth place.
Speaking after the heats, Samba expressed his pride in the team’s achievement.
