If this was the US relay team…..somebody would be persuaded to go down with COVID.

It is just bad timing for him. To be fair I don’t think anyone was flagging this as a miss by the selectors when they announced the team, Sam has knocked over a second off his PB and unfortunately really made many members of the selected relay squad look pedestrian. 
 

Still in case anyone goes down with a niggle now, he is there to be swapped in! A 4x4 team of MHS, Dobson, Reardon and Carvell would be seriously threatening to the US.

do you really believe that?

 

I mean, their no.4 (Norwood) yesterday went 44.1 (and they also have someone named Rai Benjamin available)

 

unless the US guys do something stupid in the changeovers, I don't think they're under threat by any mean

Relative to previous Games i absolutely do. If they are in the race and can get on the shoulder then relays are not just a pure time trial, see 1991 worlds for prime example.

 

ps. I'd still have US as firm favs just to be clear.

Bit of thread archaelogy for next week in Lausanne, here’s the timetable.

Just a bump for this: provisional entry lists now being populated.

 

Qualification for Tokyo Worlds 2025 started before Paris, so a first chance to those who weren’t in fast races in Paris to get a mark set in a paced race.

Silesia is obviously the region and the meeting is in Chorzów ;)

 

I presume that name Silesia is easier to pronounce so that's why they advert it like that.

Plus to honour the fact that it now has its own language.
