Are mixed teams the future of Olympic relay races?

Only 10 teams took part in the men's Winter Olympic cross-country skiing relay final, which was won by Norway for a third consecutive time. They were led to gold by perhaps the greatest Olympian of all time, Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo. Despite his country's successes, journalist Jan Petter Saltvedt explains to Ade Adedoyin why he thinks it's time for the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to switch to a mixed team event. Jan believes if teams only need to pick their top two men and top two women for one relay, that will make standards easier to achieve for more nations.

Martyn Rooney is a former British 400m runner and Olympic medallist, who now works as a relay coach for UK Athletics. He says the mixed relay - which was introduced as an event in 2019 - was a great success at the Paris Olympics and thinks it will one day become the main event when it comes to relay competition.
