The US Olympic 4x400m mixed relay team has been reinstated after originally being disqualified and will compete in Saturday&rsquo;s final.
The team had been DQ&rsquo;d for what officials said was an illegal pass between Lynna Irby and Elija Godwin. The US team appealed and was reinstated and placed directly into the final.&nbsp;
USA Track and Field did not give details of the reason for the appeal. The decision could give Allyson Felix a chance to win her record-setting 10th Olympic medal. She is currently tied with Jamaican Merlene Ottey for the most for a female Olympian.
Felix ran for the Americans and won gold when the event made its debut at the world championships two years ago.&nbsp;
