- 2023 World Relays "Postponed" Until 2025 Due To China's Strict COVID-19 Rules China will host now in 2025 instead, but they haven't yet chosen the host for 2024. The World Relays were supposed to act as qualification for 2023 Worlds, but now the top-8 teams from Eugene 2022 are automatically qualified, plus the top-8 teams on the performance lists. *World Athletics release
