The World Athletics Relays Bahamas 24 will take place on 4-5 May at the Thomas A. Robinson National Stadium in Nassau. This competition is of great importance as it serves as the main qualifying event for relay events at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
The programme includes five relay events: Women’s 4x100m and 4x400m, Men’s 4x100m and 4x400m, and Mixed 4x400m. Each nation can enter one team per event, with a maximum of eight athletes per team. For the mixed 4x400m event, a maximum of six athletes (three men and three women) can be entered, with one substitution allowed after the first round.
Prize money will be awarded to the top eight teams in each event, with the possibility of additional prize money for teams that break world records. Additionally, the top 14 teams in each event at the World Athletics Relays Bahamas 24 will automatically qualify for places at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, with the remaining spots awarded based on top lists during the qualification period.
On day one of competition, each heat winner will advance to day two’s final and secure their qualification for Paris 2024 Olympics while runners-up from each heat will also qualify for Paris Olympics by finishing as part of top two teams in their respective heats on Day Two. In Day two’s finals, teams will compete for prize money and lane seeding positions while runners-up from additional heats will also qualify for Paris Olympics by finishing as part of top two teams in their respective heats on Day Two.
The entry lists were published last week along with a Facts and Figures document edited by Mark Butler which provides more information about this exciting competition where athletes have a chance to secure their spot at Paris 202
