Then we don't have a chance. I don't understand this lineup from yesterday. You could field one team and run slowly - you could even run for training.

How many changes can Italy make in the mix today?

however, frankly I'd prefer  to be eliminated from this circus event (it would only take energy off the guys involved before their individual effort -for those who have one- or before their "main" relay)

 

p.s. I'm really worried about the women's 4*100m...I hope they can qualify Today, because otherwise they would be really at risk with the recovery time

they just gave preference to the "traditional" relays (and I agree at 100% with the coaches)

 

then, they filled this team with the remaining guys (perfect strategy...and in fact we did qualify both the men and women's "true" 4*400m teams)

 If Côte d'Ivoire and Jamaica advance, we will at 100% advance for the ranking but of course it is better to win against Spain today and advance together with the Africans. Yesterday's Spanish time should be within our reach. I prefer to will have 5/5 relay teams - it looking well in the media and you can take an additional 1-2 people to Paris. It is known that individually in the 400 meters we have no chance of winning a medal, just like in the two 400 meters relays.

Ok, but FIDAL announcements were that we were aiming for 5/5 relays in Paris. I don't understand why you can't replace 2 people in the mixed relay, because that would be perfect. Today's finals in traditional relays no longer have any significance.

well, there's always a world title at stake, moreover there's an interesting prize money and they're fundamental for the Olympic races' seeding (which might be the difference between making the final or not)

 

I wouldn't say that they're irrelevant

Yes, but it's better to advance today. There is one change from yesterday.
