With that,  will compete in the women’s 4x400m relay,  in the men’s 4x400m relay, and  in the mixed 4x400m relay. 

Sri Lanka was only entered in the men’s 4x400m and Australia were already entered in that. 
 

Portugal and Spain were already entered in the women’s and mixed respectively too. The mixed and women’s 400 were not filled (30 and 27 nations entered)

And your timetable.

 

Timetable | Bahamas 24 | World Athletics Relay

Mixed Relay starting immediately after Men's and Women's relay on Day 2 which means teams have to prioritise the events.

There's a new name in the  4x400m relay on the men's side: Eugene Omalla.

 

He's 23 years old with a Ugandan father and a Dutch mother, born in the Netherlands but grew up abroad. He switched from Rugby to 100m/200m/400m sprint only a few years ago when he was 17 and is apparently very talented on the 400m. He runs for Kansas State University and after a really strong indoor season (45.18, faster than Liemarvin Bonevacia's NR) decided to represent the Netherlands internationally. He never represented Uganda internationally.

 

His brother Jaime Omalla also ran a 46 seconds 400m indoor and will also represent the Netherlands, but he is not with the relay squad in the Bahamas.

If a team advances to the final here but then in the final gets DNF or DSQ (drops the batton or sth) - they qualify to Paris anyway?

Yes, teams have two opportunities to qualify to the Olympics. The results of the final do not matter.

[dodge 1,024]

When the timetable was originally released, they names the first round as heats. Now they’re listed as “Olympic qualification round one” with the second day split into “Olympic qualification round two” and “finals”
