To find out whether or not Page has won a medal, we will have to wait till the evening, when the finals will be contested.

If Page's timing stood to be better than those below, he will be awarded a medal.

The Finals of the Men's 1500m Freestyle Event will be contested later on in the day. The top eight swimmers will take part in it. However, there is a slight chance for Page to win a medal.

If indeed Page's timing stands to be better than the eight swimmers in the final, he will win a medal. If not, he goes home empty handed. It is still a difficult proposition, however. The Indian set a time of 15:29.96, which is more than the eighth best swimmer in the final.

Men's 1500m Freestyle Heat: Final Standings

It looks like long-distance races such as this follow a seeding system, which means the eight best swimmers had qualified for the final without stepping into the pool. Unfortunately, Page wasn't one of the top eight and thus missed out on a final berth.

It seems like despite finishing first in his heat, Page is set to miss out on a Final berth. Official result coming up.

Today, we are set to witness all the action from the swimming arena, where India's Sandeep Sejwal will be competing in the Men's 50m backstroke category, while Advait Page will take part in the 1500m men's freestyle Final.

Day five ended more with a whimper, rather than a bang. On what was a disappointing day for India, several participants lost their matches in the final stages. Ankita Raina (WR 189) bagged a Bronze medal as she went down against Zhang Shuai (WR 34). She fought valiantly against the Chinese Number eventually lost 6-4, 7-6(6). Meanwhile, the Men's doubles pair of Rohan Bopanna and Divij Sharan made it to the Final of the event and are have ensured at least a Silver medal for India.

Meanwhile, India's 15-year-old shooter Shardul Vihan also bagged a Silver in the Men's Double Trap Final and took the total tally to 17. There was also progression in other racquet sports, as badminton squash, and indeed Tennis saw Indian athletes advance. However, India's loss to Iran in the Men's Kabaddi Semifinal was completely unprecedented and historic in a wrong sense for India! There were also losses in Archery and Weightlifting.
