LAUSANNE – After a successful short course world championship debut last month in Qatar, mixed relays will now be part of this year’s long course world championships in Russia.<\/p>\n

The official schedule for the meet<\/a> lists mixed relays in only two events: 4×100 medley and 4×100 freestyle. The 400 medley relay will be swum on fourth day of the meet, August 5, while the 4×100 freestyle will be contested on August 8, the seventh day.<\/p>\n

A mixed relay consists of two men and two women. FINA, the world’s governing body for aquatic sports, officially recognized mixed relays for world record and ranking purposes in fall 2013, though the European championships had featured such events for a few years before that and Masters swimming had made it popular for decades. Several teams around the world took to the pool to be the first to set world records in the mixed relays. At the short course worlds last month, Brazil won the 4×50 mixed medley relay<\/a> while the United States took gold in the 4×50 freestyle relay<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
