The World Athletics Relays in the Bahamas will feature some of the top athletes in the sport, with all eyes on Noah Lyles and Marcell Jacobs in the 4x100m relay event. Lyles, a triple world champion, is determined to secure his first title at the World Relays after winning gold at the 2023 World Athletics Championships. He is joined on the US team by Tokyo 2020 medalist Kenny Bednarek and Courtney Lindsey, who is the fastest man at 200m this year.
The Italian team, led by European champion Jacobs, will also be strong contenders in the sprint events. They include Olympic champions Roberto Rigali, Lorenzo Patta, and Filippo Tortu. Kenya’s team will be led by African 100m record holder Omanyala as they pursue Olympic success. South Africa’s sprint powerhouse Akani Simbine is determined to overcome past relay disappointments and lead his team to victory in the 4x100m event.
Jamaica’s team includes world indoor bronze medallist Ackeem Blake but lacks key athletes like Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce and Elaine Thompson-Herah. With a mix of experienced champions and rising stars, this event promises to be an exciting and highly competitive one for track and field fans around the world.
