The Mixed Relay is a new event. It is part of the IOC and IAAF trying new events to attract new fans. The event was won by the US and it was fun, and fast. All three (3) teams showed class in the presser. Allyson Felix was the focus of most of the questions because she passed Usain Bolt as the human with the most WC medals. Special thanks to Adam Johnson Eder, on recording the pressers, and thanks to Mike Deering on producing the pressers. Mike and Adam work for The Shoe Addicts, our digital partner.
