Technical Leader seeks to explain absence of Williams and Salmon from World Relays team

Jamaica's Technical Leader at the World Athletics Relays, Mark Elliott, has sought to clear the air on the absence of quarter-milers Stacy-Ann Williams and Shiann Salmon on the eve of the 2-day meet which begins at 6:05 Saturday morning Jamaica time. 

Despite being originally named in Jamaica's team, Elliott says they weren't expecting Williams and Salmon to be a part of the Jamaican delegation. Both athletes did not travel to China.
