I really wonder whether the Danish teams will in fact participate in the 4x200m races tomorrow. We have 6 women and 6 men in Silesia. Would mean two women having 2 races within 15 minutes.

[Makedonas 2,165]

Our federation is really shameful. Our women's 4x400 team should be in Tokyo. Even the 4x100 team could've snuck in. We haven't had relays since 2019 and our girls are doing so much better now individually. Maria Belibasaki (2018 400m European silver medalist) didn't even compete on our relay team in 2019. We are clearly better than our times from 2019 but our federation decided to not send anyone to Poland. Morons.

According to WA they have to participate in the 4x1 relays to secure their spots for Tokyo and Eugene:

‘To complete their Olympic qualification, all teams must compete with bona fide effort in tomorrow’s finals. If a team does not start in the final due to a medical reason, they must present a medical certificate from the World Athletics medical delegate in order to guarantee their qualification for the Olympic Games.‘

Maybe two run the 4x2 directly after the 4x1 or they won‘t take part in the 4x2.

I have no doubt they will participate in the 4x100. Every single race is great training. It does sound like they'll be in both, but I doubt we'll be able to do so well in the 4x200, especially the women's

It's a bit unfair from the North American athletes to skip all these competitions and giving me false hope that Femke Bol is the best 400m runner in the world already!
