The French women’s 4x400m and 4x100m relays qualified for the final of the World Relay Championships in Chorzow (Poland) on Saturday, securing their place for the Olympic Games in Tokyo (23 July-9 August). Amandine Brossier, Sokhna Lacoste, Shana Grebo and Floria Gueï, for her return to the international level after having a child in 2019, finished third in their 4x400m series in 3: 30.46, behind Cuba and the Netherlands, winning a place for Sunday’s final at time. Orlann Ombissa-Dzangue, Cynthia Leduc, Maroussia Paré and Sarah Richard-Mingas won their 4x100m series in 43.51 ahead of Switzerland and Denmark.
The eight finalist countries of the various relays to be played in Japan obtain a place for the Olympics. The finalists of the last Worlds in Doha in 2019 have already qualified, such as the French men’s 4×100 and 4x400m. Several major countries in athletics (United States, Jamaica, Canada, Australia …) did not make the trip to Poland because of the health situation and the low stakes of the competition, which is found in lack of stars.
