Taking into account the time recorded by Lorenzo Mora, Federico Poggio, Ilaria Bianchi, and Costanza Cocconcelli at the 2023 World Championships in Fukuoka (3:46.08) for the lead-up to the Olympic Games, there are now no more doubts: the Italian relay team has qualified for Paris 2024.

Aside from China, Australia and the United States, which have already qualified, our athletes have the eighth best time (out of 13 Olympic quota places up for grabs) after Holland, Great Britain, Canada, Japan, Germany, Sweden and France. Only Greece and Poland can do better in the final: at best, therefore, Italy will be tenth. Objective achieved.
