Nigeria’s quartet to the World Relay Championships in Botswana have qualified for the World Mixed 4×100m at the World Championship scheduled for Beijing, China.
The quartet comprising Favor Ashe, Jennifer Chukwuka-Obi, Chidera Ezeakor and Maria Thompson achieved the feat on Saturday at the ongoing World Relay Championship in Botswana.
Nigeria clocked 40.24s to finish 4th in Heat 1 of the Mixed 4×100, the fastest time ever by an African country.
The team still has to wait for all three heats to be concluded before confirming their qualification to the 2027 World Mixed 4×100m in Beijing.
The 2027 World Athletics Championships is scheduled to take place from Sept. 11 to 19, 2027.
