A top 8 finish at the World Athletics Relays Silesia21 for either of these squads guarantees Olympic qualification.  A top 10 finish in the Women's 4x100m or top 12 finish in the Mixed 4x400m at this event would ensure qualification for the World Athletics Championships Oregon 2022. 

Travel to this event during the ongoing pandemic remains subject to government approval and the prevailing Covid-19 situation in Poland prior to departure.
