Top 4
can they be put in any order like M-F-M-F

any order

imagine putting a woman last and she gets run down :picard:

The mixed relay will entail teams of four athletes - two women and two men - racing against each other, with each athlete running once around the track before the next person on their team begins their run. Individual teams can decide for their athletes to run in any order they prefer, with two men followed by two women, vice versa or even alternating male and female athletes.

Tactics are an important aspect of the race, keeping in mind that male Olympians are on average six seconds faster than their female counterparts. It allows for a range of different race strategies that can leave the crowd on the edge of their seats until the very last seconds of the race.
