Zoey in World Relays action in Poland
Monday 3rd May 2021
Zoey Clark helped the GB&NI mixed 4x400m relay team to fifth place in the World Athletics Relays final in Silesia, Poland on Sunday, with team mates Lee Thompson, Yasmin Liverpool and Rabah Yousif. Her 52.41 split came on the heels of a run of 51.82 the previous day to win the Women’s 4x400m heat, which earned them a finals place and an ultimate third place finish (with Zoey switching to the mixed team for the finals).
In the mixed final, Zoey took up the baton from Thompson and powered around the bend with her eye on reaching the break first. From lane three, she achieved that goal and put GB&NI in the lead as they hit the 200m mark. A fast-finishing Brazil and Italy moved passed her on the home straight, but she handed to debutant, Liverpool, level with Belgium.
