Well, we have many problems too, no one from "golden team" of women's 4x400m relay will not compete here due to less or more serious injuries, besides Hołub-Kowalik. In addition strong part of men's 4x400m relay, Jakub Krzewina, is out too as his body didn't recovered yet enough after being infected of covid almost two months ago.

Good chance for the B team to step up. 6 Olympic medals available for the 4x400! :champion:

Krzewina is reportedly suspended because of problems with the whereabouts system

:NGR Nigeria has also opted out. The reason for this decision leaves many questions, to say at least.

The story of Nigerian sport. These corrupt manoeuvres happen literally every single Olympic Games & football World Cup.

If the team goes to the States for a training camp, lots of bureaucrats from the Ministry get a nice holiday for a few weeks. If it only goes to Poland for the weekend, they don’t. Either that, or the money allocated for plane tickets has already been transferred to BMW GmbH.

I think Some People here, especially the Federation, Forget, that with the World Relays Many Spots will be decided for the World Championships 2022 in Eugene Aswell.

Top 10 from this Weekend in 4x100/4x400m Women and Men will also Qualify for Eugene

Top 12 from this Weekend in 4x400m Mixed will also qualify for eugene

So it is a Double Strike this Weekend: Tokyo and Eugene

For example only 4 Teams will qualify For Mixed Relay in Eugene next year over the Top List.

If I'm not mistaken, the w4x100 is now down to 14 teams. So free spots for Eugene up for grabs, take the baton to the line, get yourself a ticket to Oregon in July 2022 :yes
