The 4th IAAF World Relays , unofficially also known as the 4th World Relay Championships , took place on May 11th and 12th, 2019 at the Yokohama International Stadium . After three events in Nassau (Bahamas) , the competition was awarded to a different location for the first time.
Competitions
The Olympic distances of 4 x 100 meters and 4 x 400 meters as well as relays over 4 x 200 meters remained part of the World Relays . There was also the 4 x 400 meter mixed relay introduced at the previous event in 2017. New to the program was a 2-by-2-by-400-meter relay with one man and one woman per nation, which replaced the 4-by-800-meter relay from previous years. Also for the first time, the also mixed hurdles pendulum relay (English. Shuttle Hurdles Relay ) was held, with which the winners were now determined in three men, women and mixed competitions. In the 2-by-2-by-400-meter relay, just like in the 4-by-400-meter mixed relay, it was up to the nations to decide in which order the two genders started.
The top 10 in the final ranking over 4 x 100 and 4 x 400 meters qualified directly for the 2019 World Championships in Doha , over 4 x 400 meters the ranks were run out in a B final. To qualify for the mixed relay over 4 x 400 meters, which was held for the first time at the World Championships, a place in the top 12 was sufficient.

12th of May
The timescales originally scheduled for the same day were no longer applicable due to the only nine reported relays. The Jamaican quartet with the individual Olympic champions Thompson and Fraser-Pryce got bronze after two messed up changes, as the US-Americans, who originally came in third , were disqualified after a handover outside the exchange area ( IWR 170.7).
4 × 400 m relay
Final: May 12th
