Three Great Britain relay teams seal qualification for Rio 2016 Olympics

Three of Great Britain's relay teams qualify for the Rio 2016 Olympics following their performances at the IAAF World Relay Championships in the Bahamas.

Three of Great Britain's relay teams have qualified for the Rio 2016 Olympics after medals were won on the final day of the IAAF World Relay Championships in the Bahamas.

The women's 4x400m and 4x100m teams earned bronze in their respective races, while the 4x400m men's team came sixth in their event, which was enough to guarantee a place in Rio.

Qualification for the 4x100m women means that GB will have a team competing for the first time in eight years after they missed out at London 2012.

Meanwhile, Usain Bolt was a late withdrawal from Jamaica's 4x200m team, who won their event, due to a hamstring concern that he suffered during the warm-up.
