The event which traditionally brings the curtain down on the track and field programme at many major championships sees four athletes per team complete one 400m lap each. On the first lap, athletes run in designated lanes. The second lap runner will run in their lane until the beginning of the back straight. From that point on, runners can move to hold the inside line on the track.
In preparation for the second and third exchanges, the receivers must line up in the same order (from the inside of the track out) as the teams are placed with 200m remaining on that leg.
Though the concept can be traced to Ancient Greece, where a 'message stick' was delivered via a series of couriers, modern relays emulate the charity races organised by the New York fire service in the 1880s, in which red pennants were handed over every 300 yards. The first Olympic relay took place in 1908 but was split into two legs of 200m, followed by one of 400m and another of 800m. The first Olympic 4x400m relay for men took place in 1912. Women made their Olympic 4x400m debut at the 1972 Munich Games. A mixed (two men, two women) 4x400m relay featured for the first time at the World Championships in 2019 and was introduced into the Olympic programme at the Tokyo 2020 Games. The USA has historically dominated both the men’s and women’s 4x400m at the Olympics.  So obviously everyone has preferences for events, but I follow a few US track meme type pages on insta and see a lot of posts about the 4x4 being a generally disliked event, I get that a 400 is horrible but personally I find the 4x4 way more exciting than a 4x1. I'm from the UK so don't know if it's more just a US thing??? Following a NCAA standardized model for a competition order of events, the 4x100 meter relay will be the second event following the 3000 meter steeplechase and the 4x400 meter relay will be the culminating event of the day. When following the National Federation of State High School Associations Track and Field standardized competition order of events, the 4x100 meter relay will commonly be in the middle before the 400 meters and after the 1600 meters and the 4x400 meter relay will be the culminating event of the day. The spacial designation of these two events allows for an individual athlete to potentially compete in both events. Although the 4x400 meter relay will often see the inclusion of middle distance runners on the team, both relay events are qualified as sprint events and are routinely solely comprised of sprinters or hurdlers. When establishing and constructing a relay team, it is important to consider a multitude of factors, variables, and competition goals, ultimately in an attempt to answer the question— Who should I put on my 4x400 meter relay team? Each relay team should consist of the four best and fastest individual athletes. Given a definitive goal of running the fastest time possible, it is crucial that each athlete on a relay is chosen based on proven speed and previous competition results. While it is common for coaches to pick relay members based on external factors such as personality, commitment, or training age, it is crucial that the final decision—albeit taking these factors into consideration—is based upon achieving an eventual goal of competition success. Why is this section repeated? Because a relay—4x100 meters, 4x200 meters, 4x400 meters, or up—is only as strong and successful as the least capable leg. An athlete who may be inconsistent, non-competitive, or merely slower than the best and fastest runners on a team should not be selected for a competition relay. Although this concept may seem brash to new coaches, it is an important lesson to consider when composing and striving towards a successful and competitive relay team. With the final goal always being to gain a new personal-best time or top competition placement, it is the overall coaching process and training methodologies which truly make a difference towards this goal. |
