On Your Marks!,Rhasidat Adeleke,World Athletics Relays

The stars of global sprinting come together this weekend for the World Athletics Relays.

Gavin Cooney RHASIDAT ADELEKE RETURNS to boost Ireland’s hopes of maintaining their impressive recent relay record by qualifying for the Paris Olympics later this year.

The mixed 4x400m team finished eighth in the final of the Tokyo Olympics, and then sixth in the finals of last year’s World Championships in Budapest. The women’s 4x400m team, meanwhile, finished eighth in the final in Budapest and then went better with a fifth-placed finish at the World Indoor Championships in Glasgow earlier this year.

Thomas Barr is included in the men’s selection, along with Cillín Greene, Christopher O’Donnell, and Jack Raftery. O’Donnell ran in both the Tokyo and Budapest finals, while Greene competed in the former and Raftery in the latter. The remaining teams drop into a repechage to be held on day two, from which the top two teams across three heats will also book an Olympic spot.
