 World Championship Trials - I guess they’re different from the National Champs which were a couple of weeks back.

Apparently these trials are compulsory for the big names - don’t do the trials, no WC slot, although I guess there are winners from Eugene who get a pass.

Lithuania is starting their relay campaign as they held the 4x400m men's relay at the COSMA cup, because they believed that with Keršulis, Sutkus and Janarauskas the NR was possible.

 

Together with the oldest member of the team - Trumpa (1998yob) they achieved the NR at 3:09.93, which was set back in 2004.

 

The aim is to qualify to the European Championships.
