Bahamas storms into men's 4x400 final
The first day of the IAAF World Relays saw a stunning victory for the Bahamas in the men's 4x400 heats and a world record for Jamaica in the men's 4x200 final.
Bahamas set for world class sporting event
FROM the time that Councilwoman Pauline Davis assured the International Amateur Athletic Federation (IAAF) that the Bahamas would be prepared to host the first two editions of the World Relays, president Lamine Diack said he didn’t have any concerns about the event coming off.
THE ART OF RELAYS
THE Bahamas has a rich history of success in relay events and since the “Golden Girls” rose to prominence in the late 1990s, have been one of the leaders in the field.
Ready for the world
Like her progression from CARIFTA champion to the International Amateur Athletic Federation’s Council ship, ‘Golden Girl’ Pauline Davis-Thompson has been more than impressed with the Bahamas’ progression from hosting the top regional junior track and field meet to the biggest introductory relay on the planet.
