4x400m mixed relay 14:43 - Oct 1 with 1378 viewsStokieBlue

Did people see this the other night? Was actually quite interesting and fun. The format is 2 men and 2 women and each team can decide who runs what leg thus sometimes it's opposite sexes against each other for that leg.

You can see the race here:

Works really well in Swimming with the mixed medley relay as you also get the added drama of there being 4 different strokes and lots of different permutations

I thought the pundits were unnecessarily negative as the whole point of mixed relay is to add some more drama (which they do) and also opens up medal chances to other nations as having a couple of decent male or female athletes Isn’t usually enough to win a medal in a relay but now it is

I like it - mixes things up a bit.

They should also do a medley relay - that could be mixed too - 100, 100, 200, 400.

I'm sure there's a joke about 'accidentally' grabbing the wrong baton in there but I can't be bothered to work it out.

I bet Bloots will downarrow this.

Unfortunately, I can't watch that where I am, but I looked for it on youtube and found this instead:



Brilliant!

Issue is that it could get very formulaic very quickly if every team does the same thing (i.e. MFFM) which would negate the uniqueness of the event. They were suggesting, on commentary, that the order is drawn by lots, for each team.

Thought it was quality.

I know that was then, but it could be again..

It was ok but only because one team had a different order to the others. All four laps should be randomly drawn per team each race, that’d shake it up
