Team GB at the World Athletics Relays


Recommended Posts

I don't think anyone doubted that Amber would have a strong year after her indoor improvements. I fully expect her to go under 50 at some point this year.

 

But keeping spring NCAA form into the summer is not guaranteed. We only have to look at Britton Wilson last year. Even Adeleke - who held her form better than Wilson did - was over half a second slower in Budapest than she was at the NCAA champs.

 

It's great overall to see Amber's progression. It just might not work out this specific summer. Obviously, I hope I'm wrong.

Have to say a few kind draws there for GBR; Not impossible they bank all 5 on day 1 - M4x1 in particular seems to have been fortunate. Ireland would look at the Mixed heat and think it's tough but possible. W4x4 is defo possible.

I'm internally trying to work out how they came up with the draws for the first round and even more fascinated how they are going to do the draw for round 2, given the stakes.

 

I'd agree that none of the draws are particularly scary, for either GBR or Ireland. More than anything, I have the inevitable baton worries that come with the sprint relays especially.

 

It'll be interesting to see who lines up for what - in theory Paulino is down only for the mixed 4x4 for the Dominican Republic, which would likely make Ireland's job in the women's 4x4 easier if that were the case. But I trust those entry lists about as far as I can throw them.

Switching to the dedicated thread for WA Relays - just looking at the start list for GB and it's a pretty stacked heat. Anyone know where they get the :GBR SB as 47.75? Seems awfully slow compared to the other nations.

It's a Birmingham University team from a meet in Philadelphia according to WA.

:GBR second fastest overall for women's 4x100 and still with Asher Smith and Neita to come in. That's not a bad place to be going in to Paris.

    • I think the reason is that it's generally preferable to have a fast shooter in the 1st leg, and especially in the prone shooting, where Hofer is quite slow.   Now, I'm not saying I agree with the choice, because I don't. I think it's going to neutralize Giacomel's skiing skills in the 1st lap at least.   I guess the idea is to try and set a very fast pace in the 1st leg, which is usually quite tactical, but I'm afraid that's going to force Giacomel to risk too much because he will feel he has to make some time somehow.   Regardless, Italy must be on the podium tomorrow. I think that would be crucial for the following races as well. I think France is the clear favorite, but the other teams are not stronger than Italy on paper.
