Mohammed Ashfaq breaks U20 national record, enters 400m final

There is a young runner from India named Mohammed Ashfaq, who is 19 years old.

He went to a big worldwide race for young athletes called the World Athletics U20 Championships.

Ashfaq ran the 400-meter race very fast, finishing his first race in 45.81 seconds.

That was the fastest any Indian his age has ever run the distance, beating his own old record.

Because he ran so well, he qualified for the final race.

Other Indian athletes also competed at the championships.

A discus thrower named Amanat Kamboj finished sixth in the world with her best-ever throw.

Some other Indian runners and jumpers did not make it to their finals.

Even so, it was a very exciting day for Indian athletics.
