WHAT IS RELAY RACE

Assalamualaikum everyone, i hope u guys are doing good and stay safe. So today, im gonna share something interesting which is relay race. Do u guys have been familiar with this sport ? It might be yes or no. So, let me share with u guys a little bit information about relay race.

There are two standard relay events in track and field the 4X100m relay and the 4X400m relay. 

The 4X400m relay finals are traditionally the finale of a track meet and is therefore often met with a very enthusiastic crowd, particularly if the last leg is a close race. 

A 4X400m relay generally starts in staggered lanes for the first leg; runners are then allowed to break into the first lane on the second leg after the first 200m, as long as they do not block with other runners. This is the point of the race when runners jostle for the best position and try not to get ‘boxed in’, or stuck between runners which makes overtaking later on very difficult. 

The race organiser then lines up the runners of the third leg; the team with the first place gets to be closest to the inside of the track. Slower teams have to slide in to the inside lanes as they come available.

So, this is a little bit info about relay race. Hope u guys can see and understand. Thank you!
