New Delhi: India added two more bronze in the swelling medal count from athletics as both men and women finished third in 4x100m relay races in the Commonwealth Games on Tuesday.
The men's quartet of Rahamatulla Molla, Krishnakumar Rane, Shammer Mon and Mohd Abdul Qureshi smashed the national record with a timing of 38.89secs in front of a near-capacity crowd at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium.
The same quartet had set a national record of 39.00secs in the semifinals on Monday.
England won the gold in 38.74secs while Jamaica settled for a silver in 38.79secs.
It looked like India's final leg runner H M Jyothi would cross the finishing line at second but Ghanaian Janet Amponsah beat her for the home team to be content with a bronze in 45.25secs. Ghana clocked 45.24secs.
