Canadian women's 4x100m relay team qualifies for Paris Olympics
Zena Doso had a brilliant indoor season. Over 60 metres, she has the battle for Italy on leg one. Say the Mccree for Canada. Certain. So apologies at any of the starts so far. Good start from Poland. Simanoskaya on the outside is going to hand on to Monica Romasco slightly. Got the change wrong there, Poland. Italy moving up nicely on the inside of Jamaica as well and also going well are China on the inside in Lane #3. China, Italy, Jamaica on the outside. Poland was Travolta to come on the final leg. Jamaica with Alana Reed coming between and also Canada charging right back into it with the audience led Duke as well. China, Canada, Italy, Poland, Jamaica to come as well. Take your pick, Canada here comes tomorrow on the outside of Poland. It’s going to be Poland who get there and Canada hang on for the second spot. Crystal Emmanuel IE. Under real pressure, but Evas for Boda translating her brilliant indoor form outdoors onto the Relay track, A thriller of a heat and as Poland and Canada on their way to Paris. Like everything was happening in the last lap. There was like, it was so weird to see that because they were so close. Everybody was like, you didn’t expect Poland on that side. The athlete’s looking up at the screen here, just waiting for confirmation that Canada. Held on for second spot. They sort of know it, but they love to see it with their own eyes and now they do see it. Mccrae, Marie, Eloise Leclerc, Audrey Le Duke, who really did put them back into contention. We’ll see it again in a minute, but the bend from Leduc was an absolute stormer to put them back in it and brilliantly brought home by Crystal Emanuel, IE as well as we see Poland. They weren’t brilliant, actually, on their first change out of the first bend. This is where Leduc gets the baton. In Lane #4 for Canada, maybe wasn’t the cleanest change, but it was fine from Poland on the outside. You know what she can do indoors, Daphne. So I know she’s trying to prove herself over 100 outdoors as well, but an ideal kind of cool, calm character to have in that situation. Yeah, but she’s she’s an athlete at many, many competitions and I think that’s what she saw. She was staying relaxed, do her job. She was really fast and she did a really good job in the last one. People might chuckle what we say, cool, calm carrots because it’s not actually that much cooler. But in terms of, as you say, staying relaxed in the big moments is I guess the point I was making. As we see confirmation there, China ran a great race only 5 hundredths outside the top two.
