Pillay recently set a new personal best of 44.31 seconds in the 400m, making him the second-fastest South African in the event behind Van Niekerk. The trio forms the core of the South African 4x400m team, aiming to continue the country’s success in the relay on the global stage.
South Africa’s chances of challenging for a medal have been boosted with the addition of Wayde van Niekerk to the relay team. The trio has met Olympic qualifying times and is expected to compete in the one-lap sprint at Paris 2024.
The World Relays also serve as a qualifying event for Paris 2024, where teams can secure Olympic quotas by finishing in the top two of each heat. South African athletes like Clarence Munyai, Akani Simbine, and Van Niekerk will be participating in the men’s relay events, aiming to secure their spot at the prestigious event.
Overall, South Africa’s relay teams have a strong foundation with a mix of experienced athletes and rising talents, providing hope for success at the upcoming World Athletics Relays and paving the way for potential medal contention at Paris 2024.
