At the USTAF meet in Eugene, World Continental Tour Series Shaunae Miller Uibo posted a 49.08 time, superb considering the conditions during the meet!! just to make things clear to all those teenagers in Namibia who is the boss

The women’s 400 m will definitely be a funny freak show with Miller-Uibo, the athletes from Namibia and Eid Naser. Would be great if Seyni would also be allowed to compete.

 is next country which withdrew from World Relays. At this rate I believe that just European nations and several from Africa will take part here + India dn Japan. But I'm not sure if our government will allow Indian athletes enter to country due to high number of infectionts and new variant there.

The  4x100m women's relay will be another team that will not start at the World Relays this weekend. The main reason being that two of their runners suffer from muscular issues after a training camp in Spain. Also the current pandemic was taking in account. The  4x100m women's relay is already qualified for Tokyo.

I don't think so. Covid situation in Poland is making better.

Iga Baumgart-Witan and Justyna Święty-Ersetic from 4x400m relay will not compete as well, due to injuries.

Is it worth it when only a few teams will turn up.

yes...those who show up are always right and deserve to take advantage of their commitment, absents are always wrong and deserve to lose their privilege...

Poland is a good host, there are many security measures. And the situation is not that dangerous.

Once they made it an Olympic qualifier, with certain nations targeting the event, it was always going to go ahead.

 

Most of those who've pulled out (all?) are already qualified. The world relay medals don't have that much prestige yet so the focus is on qualification.
