India's 4x400m mixed relay team finishes 7th in Doha
The team of Muhammed Anas[1], V K Vismaya[2], Jisna Mathew[3] and Tom Nirmal Noah[4] clocked 3 minutes 15.77 seconds to finish seventh in the field of eight countries on Sunday.
It was just a tad slower than the 3:15.71 clocked by the Indian team while winning gold in the Asian Games last year.

Anas began the race in lane number 8 and early in the second leg, Vismaya was running last. Third-leg runner Jisna collided with a second-leg runner of another country after collecting the baton from Vismaya, leading to loss of crucial time, though India was at the last spot by that time.
Noah recovered a bit but India ended at seventh, ahead of Brazil.
United States took the gold in world record timing of 3:09.34 in the event making its debut in the championships. Jamaica (3:11.78) and Bahrain (3:11.82) secured the silver and bronze medal, respectively.
The Indian team had finished third in its heat and seventh overall on Saturday with a timing of 3:16.14 to qualify for the finals, which had ensured a Tokyo Olympics berth for the country.
