World Athletics on Wednesday, released qualification standards for Nigeria Relay Teams and other teams hoping to participate at the Paris 2024 Olympics and the World Relays in Nassau.
The Bahamian capital, which hosted the first three editions of the World Relays, will once again welcome the world’s best sprinters on 4-5 May 2024 as countries compete for relay places at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
The programme for Nassau comprises five relay disciplines – men’s and women’s 4x100m and 4x400m, plus the mixed 4x400m – and 32 teams will be entered in each of those.
Top eight teams in each discipline at the World Athletics Championships Budapest 23 will automatically earn entry to the World Relays Nassau 24. The host country may also enter one team in each discipline, regardless of any entry conditions.
The top 14 teams at the World Athletics Relays Nassau 24 will automatically qualify for places at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Teams will have two opportunities to qualify in Nassau; if they’re unsuccessful on day one, another chance will be provided on day two.
