The 2024 World Athletics Relays will feature around 90 athletes from 30 countries. The event is scheduled to take place on Saturday and Sunday, May 4th and 5th, at the Tommy Robinson National Stadium in Nassau, Bahamas. (More Sports News)
The competition will feature thrilling races, including the mixed 4x400m relay, women's 4x100m relay, men's 4x100m relay, women's 4x400m relay, and men's 4x400m relay, promising an action-packed weekend of world-class athletics.
After the first three editions of the World Athletics Relays – all held in The Bahamas, with US men’s 4x400m teams winning – the 2019 title went to Trinidad and Tobago in Yokohama, before the Netherlands clinched the crown in Silesia in 2021, when USA did not field a team.
Since then, each of the three major outdoor global titles have been won by USA. But with so much at stake – including Olympic places for 14 teams – competition is set to be fierce.
