Team GB’s Relay Teams Competing at World Athletics Relays for Paris Olympics Qualification

Team GB’s relay teams are gearing up to compete at the World Athletics Relays this weekend in Nassau, Bahamas, with the goal of securing their spots at the Paris Olympics this summer. The event, set to take place on 4-5 May, will showcase some of the world’s top athletes in the 4x100m and 4x400m relays.

One notable inclusion in the GB squad is sprinter CJ Ujah, who is making his return after serving a 22-month ban for a doping violation at the Tokyo Olympics. Ujah’s ban led to the British men’s 4x100m team being stripped of its silver medal, making his comeback all the more significant.

The top two teams in each heat on the opening day will advance to the final on day two, with the added bonus of securing Olympic quota places. The finals on day two will determine the Olympic lane seeding positions and also see the teams competing for medals.

The Great Britain squad is stacked with talent, including names like Zharnel Hughes, Richard Kilty, and Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake in the men’s 4x100m team, and Laviai Nielsen and Jodie Williams in the women’s 4x400m team.

Other countries to watch out for include the USA, with Noah Lyles and Gabby Thomas leading their 4x100m teams, and the Netherlands, with Femke Bol aiming to retain their 4x400m crown.

With a star-studded lineup and high stakes on the line, the World Athletics Relays promise to be an exciting event for track and field fans. Make sure to tune in to the action on the BBC and cheer on Team GB as they aim for Olympic qualification and glory on the world stage.
