The 4× 100-meter relay race is divided into lanes, and the catcher can start in front of the baton receiving area100 meters. The baton must be held in your hand until the end of the game. Anyone who drops the baton must pick it up by himself, and can only cross his own runway to pick it up without affecting others.

In all relay events, the baton handover must be completed in the baton handover area. The judgment of "in the baton receiving area" is based on the position of the baton, not on the position of the competitor's body or limbs. Any player who intentionally crosses the runway to obstruct other teams after passing the baton may be disqualified.

I. Introduction to the relay race

The relay race is a team track event. Practicing relay running can cultivate the collectivism spirit of teamwork and develop the ability of fast running. Track and field relay races are: men's 4× 100 meters, women's 4×400 meters, and sometimes women's 4×200 meters. In mass sports activities, relay running has different forms, such as: team relay at different distances, head-on relay (cross-border relay), relay at different distances, etc.

Internationally, relay race was officially listed as a track event at the end of 19. At that time, the rules of the game stipulated that the receiver should run to the 20-meter relay area to pick up the passer's baton (in the past). Now the receiver can start the pre-run at 10 meters in front of the relay area, but the action of passing and receiving the stick should still be completed in the 20-meter relay area.

Second, matters needing attention

1. Before the relay starts, you should be mentally prepared in advance, concentrate, and always pay attention to the movements of your teammates and the baton in your hand.

2. When carrying the baton, you should adjust your pace according to the speed and distance of your teammates, so as to successfully receive the baton and continue running. At the same time, we should pay attention to the choice of inner and outer lanes in the corner, and try to be close to the inner lane to avoid being squeezed out of the track by the players in the outer lane.

3. After receiving the baton, keep it steady to avoid excessive speed fluctuation, so as not to affect the performance of subsequent players. When approaching the baton handover area, slow down in advance, so that the fourth player can catch the baton smoothly and accelerate.

4. When passing the baton, one side of the baton should be stuck between the palm of your hand and your fingers, and the baton should be pushed out through the action of your wrist. This can ensure that the baton will not fall off and will not affect the force of the fingers.
