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 https://ok.ru/video/2219281484417 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. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

rybak 2,684 Posted April 26, 2021 #22 Share Posted April 26, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumo 2,795 Posted April 27, 2021 #23 Share Posted April 27, 2021 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. https://www.leichtathletik.de/news/news/detail/74738-flash-news-des-tages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adriano 435 Posted April 28, 2021 #29 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Poland is a good host, there are many security measures. And the situation is not that dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
