Robinson National Stadium located in Nassau as they look to qualify for the Summer Olympics in Paris.
 
Eriksen will compete for her native country of Norway as a member of the 4x400m relay team while Denis will compete as a member of the Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) national team in the 4x100m relay.
