Passage 4x100m.

Passing the baton in the 4x100m relay.

French method.
The drawback of the method is to pass French opponent hit the neighbor in the passage.
However the method is more usual in international competitions and this happens for two reasons: 1 lot
Trainers use the time and successfully in international competition; 2 ° results with the problem is to Messrs.
teachers decide.

The simplicity that characterizes the ascending passage as ideal for the high school team, is a good solution but not yet
the ideal. Eliminates a passage such as imperfect hits at the waist and drop the bat and run in full etc.

English method.
Personally believe that the way Dyson, has a greater deal of security, there are even greater possibilities for good
passages. As much as the move is good or bad, there will always be a free end to be on hand
companion.

The English method Dyson stands by a downward movement in the palm of the companion, which gets. This
means delivering the athlete always takes the rod free end and one side always remains the bat to perform
the next passage.

The athlete that part out with the bat in his left hand and approached the area will pass to the left side of his
Beacon where he spends his companion in his right hand.

The reason evolution in Technical Results and mainly by use of 10 meters in the proof of Relay
4x100m - and try to synthesize this design receiving the baton in this race.

The athlete who runs the 1st part of the race 4x100m runs with the bat in his right hand and the inside of the track, entering
the exchange zone, makes the passage putting the bat on the left hand of his companion, and that receives this will be
running down the outside of the track.
