NASSAU, Bahamas – Canada has three tickets booked to the Paris Olympics in the relay events.
The men’s 4×100-metre, women’s 4×100 and women’s 4×400 teams all qualified for the Games on Saturday night at the World Relays. The top two teams from each heat qualified for the Olympics and into Sunday’s final for their respective events.
The quartet of Aaron Brown, Jerome Blake, Brendon Rodney and Andre De Grasse ran a season-best 38.11 seconds in the men’s 4×100 to win their heat.
Sade McCreath, Marie-Éloise Leclair, Audrey Leduc and Crystal Emmanuel-Ahye finished with a season-best 42.98 seconds to be second in their heat in the women’s 4×100.
Zoe Sherar, Aiyanna Stiverne, Kyra Constantine and Alyssa Marsh crossed the line in a season-best three minutes 27.17 seconds to place second in their women’s 4×400 heat.
The men’s 4×400 and 4×400 mixed relay teams did not qualify in the first set of heats. However, they will have another shot on Sunday in the Olympic qualifying rounds where the top two in each of the three heats will be able to qualify.
