If Day 1 was a mess, Day 2 at the World Athletics Relays in Guangzhou 2025 didn’t bring much relief for Jamaica either. After a costly slip-up in the opening round, all eyes were on the mixed 4x400m repechage for redemption, but it just didn’t happen. Kishane Thompson’s team, Jamaica, finished fourth in their heat and missed out on an automatic berth to the Tokyo World Championships this September. Only the top 14 teams from both rounds qualify directly, and Jamaica’s hopes took another hit.
Day 2 belonged to Spain in that mixed 4x400m repechage. They turned heads with a blistering 3:12.55 to win the heat and seal their Tokyo ticket. Germany (3:13.35) and China (3:13.39 NR) weren’t far behind—and both punched their tickets too. Jamaica? Just outside the bubble and now watching the qualification drama from a much tougher seat.
