 almost had the result of the weekend there…

 Liberia completely messed up the 2nd exchange

Jamaica half a second quicker with the same inexperienced quartet.

I think that Italy needs to improve its result in the mixed relay a bit at the European Championships in Rome to be sure of moving up the rankings.

Pretty good crowd there tonight.

They shouldn't be. The one per team rule is for the FINAL only.

Not according to the competition information. It doesn't mention the final, just talks about after the first round.

 

In section 4 it says the following:

 

This does not apply to the mixed 4x400m relay where a maximum of 6 athletes (3 men and 3 women) may be entered with only one substitution allowed after the first round.

 

All that being said, I wouldn't be reading too much into some of these docs. We saw in round 1 a bunch of athletes who were not on the entry list who took part in the mixed and others who were on the mixed entry list who took part in the individual. So I'd retain a healthy skepticism of anything official.

Really feel for Liberia, hopefully they get in via the toplists as the team is too talented to miss out on the Olympics.

That's a rare sight, a Toronto 2015 volunteer shirt on an official

Pretty good from considering who they’re missing.  Obviously working on the changes.
