After making two successive global finals, the mixed relay quartet are out to repeat the trick this Saturday

“And if we do make a final, there won’t be any mad celebrations. It will just be, get our warm down in, and very much focus on the next round , because we’ve been there before, and this is what we’re expecting. I think in Tokyo, maybe we were guilty of, ‘oh we got to the final, this is amazing’ and you forget you’ve actually got a final to run.”

There’s still plenty of relay experience in Budapest with Sharlene Mawdsley, Sophie Becker and Jack Raftery also part of the Oregon squad, joined this time around by Callum Baird and Roisin Harrison. O’Donnell is certainly running into form, the 25-year-old winning his fifth national title in six years last month, the 45.95 his fastest winning time to boot, and will also contest the individual 400m, those heats set for Sunday morning, his eyes there on running inside her personal best of 45.26, run last year.
