Were, competing in Heat Two, started off the race at a slower pace and struggled to maintain the pace with his opponents.
National champion Wiseman Were has ended his World Championships campaign after failing to reach the final of the 400m Hurdles.
Were, competing in Heat Two, started off the race at a slower pace and struggled to maintain the pace with his opponents. He ended up finishing distant sixth in 49.40. USA’s Rai Benjamin carried the day in the Heat, crossing the line first in 47.24.
Only the first two athletes in every heat are to directly qualify for the final. Also, the two fastest losers will also qualify for the final but Were's time was not sufficient for a slot in the final.
