Women's 4x200m Relay Final | World Athletics Relays Yokohama 2019

[@dje8358]

This video is a great reminder that, when it comes to relays, it's not just about who the fastest team is, it's about what team can get the baton around the track the fastest.

To simply stop running because you don't know the position of your teammate, is probably one of the most stupidest things you can do in a relay.

[@dontwitty1656]

they just throw a team together; most of time they try to figure out how to get the exchanges right in the heats. so 1 race to figure out the most critical aspect of the race in less than 2 seconds and apply it in the finals

4x2 is the most difficult passing. The crouch start makes it more difficult to see the runners hit their marks and judge their speed. A simpler approach is needed. The French team used the old underhand pass, which may not be as fast as the usual but is smoother and safer. We can see only the last pass of the French because of camera locations.
