'He got me this time' - Junelle Bromfield left speechless as fiancé Noah Lyles surprises her with luxurious new house
Jamaican sprint queen Junelle Bromfield was left in awe after her fiancé Noah Lyles, the Olympics 100m champion, surprised her with a luxurious new house following their engagement.
It will be a relief for the top 16 teams in each discipline that were in action at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games since they automatically qualify for the World Athletics Relays. The host country may also enter one team in each discipline.
The remaining 16 teams will be determined through the top lists in the qualification period between January 1 and April 13. The top 14 teams in each of the five disciplines at the World Athletics Relays will automatically qualify for places at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo.
World Athletics explained that any athlete aged at least 16 on December 31, 2025, may compete but athletes younger than 16 by that time may not compete.
A maximum of one team from any one member can compete in each relay event and a maximum of eight athletes may be entered for each Relay Team. Any four athletes among those entered for the competition may then be used in the composition of the team.
