Trinidad and Tobago ended USA’s winning streak in Yokohama two years ago, and now it looks as though the men’s 4x400m at the World Athletics Relays Silesia 21 could have its first European winner.
In the women’s 4x400m, meanwhile, the focus will be on whether hosts Poland can repeat their victory from two years ago.
But places at the next two global championships are also at stake. The top eight placed teams in the women’s and men’s 4x400m finals at the Silesian Stadium in Chorzow on 1-2 May will automatically qualify for the Olympic Games in Tokyo, while the top 10 – the eight teams in the final and those with the two next best times in the first round – will qualify for the World Athletics Championships Oregon22.
