Michael Frater to the rescue at IAAF World Relays

At least one replacement has been brought in on Jamaica's team at the IAAF World Relays in the Bahamas on Saturday.

Two time olympic sprint relay gold medallist Michael Frater has been added to the men's sprint relay pool. Frater who represented Jamaica at the Penn Relays in the USA last weekend joins Usain Bolt, Kemar Bailey-Cole, and Nickel Ashmeade on the men's sprint relay team.

Utech's  Julian Forte, Kemarley Brown, Andrew Fisher, as well as current women's world 100 metre  leader Elaine Thompson, Cristania Williams, Shericka Jackson, and Janieve Russell are the seven athletes who withdrew from the team earlier this week. 

Live and exclusive television coverage of the IAAF World Relays can be seen on Television Jamaica, TVJ, and Television Jamaica Sports Network, TVJSN, Saturday (May 2) and Sunday (May 3).
