The relay finals are also expected to produce high-quality competition after Indian quarter-milers delivered some of the best performances in the country’s history earlier this week.
The men’s 400m final witnessed a historic breakthrough when Vishal TK became the first Indian athlete ever to officially break the sub-45-second barrier after clocking a sensational national record of 44.98s.

Meanwhile, Tejaswin Shankar also created history by crossing the 8000-point barrier in the decathlon with a national record tally of 8057 points.
With relay medals, CWG qualification standards and final-day bragging rights all at stake, Day 4 promises a fitting finish to one of the most memorable editions of the Federation Cup in recent years.
