Havana, April 24 (RHC) - Cuba officially registered three teams and 17 athletes for the Bahamas World Relay Championships, which will encourage almost 900 runners from 54 nations on May 4 and 5.

Despite some discomfort or health problems presented by some athletes in the final stretch of preparation, Cuba will be in the Bahamas in the 4x100 races for both sexes, and the women's 4x400, champion in the Silesia-2021 edition.

From that quartet this time Roxana Gómez, Lisneidy Veitia and Rose Mary Almanza will be in the Bahamas, accompanied by three new promotion figures.

As for the most relevant figures who have confirmed their presence, Noha Lyles stands out, who led the United States quartet to victory in the shortest distance at the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest (4x100).

In order to maintain that hegemony he will be accompanied by the Olympic silver medalist in the 200 meters Kenny Bednarek.

In the 4x400 meters for women, the Dutch have the best chance of repeating the reigns of Budapest 2023 and the World Indoor Athletics Championships in Glasgow 2024, with the extraordinary Femke Bol at the helm.

During the initial day of the contest, the two best teams from each series will qualify for the finals scheduled the next day and in the process will ensure presence at the Paris event.

The relays without options to fight for medals will also run on the closing day to complete the 14 that will earn the right to compete in Paris.
