phrase, but it appears that we are still stuck with the old way of doing things as played out during the IAAF World Relays held in Yokohama, Japan, last weekend.
Only 16 countries can compete in the men and women’s 4x100m and 4x400m relays at the World Championships, and so the Top 10 teams in each of these events at the World Relays were to secure automatic slots for the World Championships. It was expected that Nigeria would go with a strong team to ensure that we qualify for the World Championships. However, that was not the case.
It was a similar case in the men’s 4x100m where the team finished 7th but was eventually disqualified, so the quartet wasn’t even ranked at the end of the day. And that was how the federation bungled the World Championships qualification for its athletes. With just six slots left for each of these events, Nigeria now has to commence the arduous task of finishing Top 6 in the world before the September 6 deadline.
