Mixed relays for Olympic Games

DOHA (QAT): IAAF CEO Olivier Gers has said mixed relays could be introduced as an Olympic event, informs AFP. “As a sport we are looking at different formats. It’s definitely something for the Olympics to look at and for the IOC to decide jointly with the IAAF. It’s definitely something we have been talking about for quite some time,” he said. Mixed relays have already been staged at the World U18 Championships and World Relays and are planned for IAAF Continental Cup 2018.
