The Americans thought they had won their first-round heat in the mixed 4x400m relay, but were at first disqualified from the event after Elija Godwin and Lynna Irby were ruled to have passed the baton outside the exchange zone. The ruling was later overturned. #NBCOlympics #Tokyo2020 #TrackAndField

Most track events consist of a maximum of three rounds (first round, semifinals and final). The number of rounds in each event is determined by the total number of entries.
For events with the highest number of entrants, including the men’s and women’s 100m, there will be an additional preliminary round for athletes who have not met the ‘A’ nor the ‘B’ entry standards.
