    Fundamental skill and techniques of relay

    Running
    The basic skills or techniques in relay race are
     The baton grip
     The take off
     The run up and visual exchange
     The finish line
    1. The baton grip
     The commonly accepted types of relay in Olympic game
    are 4 400 (1600m) relay. When holding the baton the
    hand should be placed at sufficient distance to ensure that
    the incoming partner does not really catch the other hand
     The first runner carries the baton in the right hand and
    hands it over to the left hand of the second runner. The
    second runner into the right hand of the third, and the
    third into the left hand of the fourth runner. The baton,
    therefore, passes from right to left and from left to right.
     Two methods can be used for the actual baton
    exchange
    1. The upward exchange in which the receiver reaches
    back, with the elbow slightly bent and, with the palm of
    the hand facing downwards.
    2. The "downward" exchange, in which the receivers
    reaches back with a fairly high and straight arm, and the
    palm of the hand facing upwards.
    2. The Take Off
     The take-off in other races is the same as in relay races.
    3. The Run up and Visual Exchange
     The run up is an approach run between the incoming and
    outgoing runners.
    For Example
     If the incoming runner is holding the baton with the right
    hand, the receiver should receive it with the left hand.
     Baton exchange
     Baton exchange is the exchange of a Baton between
    runners in a relay team.
     There are two (2) methods of Baton exchange
    * Visual Method
    * Non visual method
    1. Visual method- the Visual method is the method in which the
    receiver looks back to take the baton from the incoming
    runner.
    2. * Non Visual method- the non -Visual method is the method
    in which the receiver don't look to take the baton from the
    baton from the incoming runner.
    4. The Finish Line
     The runner is usually run and pass the baton the next
    runner within a marked exchange zone. The last runner in
    a relay is called the "anchor" who runs the finish line.
