Athletics WA World Relays 2024

[Roamingrover86 863]

If a NOC qualifies all 3 relay teams for 4x400, is it a requirement to choose the mixed relay squad from the 4x400 men& Women’s squad? Or all three relays can have independent athletes? Also how many athletes quotas can be used up if a country qualifies all 3 relay teams in 4x400?

They can be separate. 
 

For men’s and the women they can nominate 5, but if they have individuals qualified they must be included in the five. A travelling reserve can be included (but not counted)

 

For the mixed relay, they can only nominate 2 men and 2 women (no requirement to include qualified individuals) and there’s a travelling reserve for each gender (again, not counted as a quota)

 

So the max quotas would be 14 (5 in men’s, 5 in women’s, 4 in mixed). In practice it would be far less as there would be crossover (and individual qualifiers would bring the number down too)

Would be great if Germany wouldn’t qualify a single relay. Maybe this would force them to change their funding strategy.

4 heats in round one - top 2 in each qualify = 8 total 

 

3 heats in round two - top 2 in each qualify = 6 total

 

8+6=14

Oh, duh, of course. How on earth did I think it's only 2 per event on day 1 instead of 2 per heat

My country is one of those. We’re top 12 in each of mixed and women’s and may not qualify in either. We will almost certainly have to choose to forego one though 

We have not. They’ve selected our top two women for both relays tonight

To be fair, Rhasidat is welll used to running about 16 relay heats in a session from the US circuit...
