Having made Guernsey history at Birmingham 2022 with the island’s first ever Commonwealth Games track and field medal, he had lined up for the Friday night final in lane four of the Scotstoun Stadium with clear potential of improving on his previous bronze.
The 26-year-old ran strongly over the first half but soon knocked the sixth hurdle with his trail leg and stumbled, after which he battled on but finished adrift of the podium in 50.24sec.
The pre-race favourite, Nigeria’s Ezekiel Nathaniel, had won in 48.47 with England’s Jake Minshull in second also cracking 49sec.
Chalmers had won his heat on Wednesday in commanding fashion, easing over the line but still posting 48.92.
