The 2021 national track and field championships have been brought forward to April 16-18 to give sprint hopefuls a chance to get to the World Relays competition two weeks later to qualify teams for the Tokyo Games.

The men’s 4x100m booked their spot at the 2019 world championships in Doha‚ finishing fifth in the final.

The SA women’s 4x100m and 4x400m outfits are unlikely to make it‚ denuded by positive drug tests and the exit of Caster Semenya because of World Athletics’ new gender eligibility rules. This marks a change in attitude from ASA‚ which ignored the first two editions of the event in 2014 and 2015.
