Relay events

Relay events are team competitions in which runners take turns completing a segment of a race, passing a baton to the next runner to continue. Each team typically has four members who run sequentially, with smooth baton exchanges crucial for maintaining speed and efficiency. The race is won by the team that covers the total distance the fastest without dropping the baton or making errors during exchanges. Relays test teamwork, coordination, and speed, and are common in track and field competitions such as the 4x100 meters and 4x400 meters races.
