Athletics WA World Relays 2024

Well, the Dutch 4x400m men missing out on the Olympics (because making it by time is not nearly going to happen) is a bit of a bummer. Same for the 4x100m, really would have wanted to see Martina make his 6th Olympics.

That was the federation's decision to do that though. Again, plenty of other countries chose to double up some of their athletes.

Actually in the first round we had a similar schedule and ramesh our best male relay runner, cramped up in the men's which he ran an hr after the mixed... So we decided in the repechage runs to drop the mixed  and focus only on men's and women's.... I think ramesh may be ok.... But this close runs I think could increase chance of injury.....

Dutch men 4x100 also have a 38.30. Tied with  .

They do, but they’re behind Trinidad & Tobago on the world athletics list, so they’ll have to go faster

Based on what, do you know? I only know this one, where I assume in case of a tie it's simply 'whoever did it first, is on the line above the other':

Presumably down to 1/1000ths

 

But I’d imagine it won’t matter either way with improvements to come before the end of June

Yeah, I think and hope so. And if they take the 1/1000ths into account, they should really stop putting the times on the lists without them. Give us the time that's measured.
