World Athletics Relays 2024: Women’s 4x400m Preview - Team USA's Alexis Holmes and Netherlands' Femke Bol set to headline the event

The World Athletics Relays are upon us, and the Olympic qualification tournament promises some blockbuster action for fans in the stadium and at home. One of the most competitive races in Nassau will be the women's 4x400m, which will feature 27 teams.

Among the 27 teams will be the top three podium finishers from the 2023 World Championships - Netherlands, Jamaica, and Great Britain, as well as the other five finalists.

The Dutch challenge will be spearheaded by Femke Bol, who has had quite a season so far. The Olympic medalist’s 2024 has seen her win two Indoor World Championships golds, as well as setting a new world record in the 400-meter short track.

Jamaica will feature a fairly different team from the one that clinched silver in Budapest, while Great Britain is bringing back three of their four gold medalists for the World Athletics Relays.

Giving Netherlands, Jamaica, and Great Britain a run for their money will be Team USA, with a roster that features national champion and World Indoor Championships bronze medalist Alexis Holmes.
