Be sure to add me to your favorites list!RELAY RACE SILVER COIN Description: Relay races can be traced to the ancient custom of sending messages via a series of couriers (skytalodromoi or "runners with a message stick"). Each courier handed the stick over to the next until its destination was safely reached. At present the relay race has completely changed character and has become an important official sport of the Olympic Games. In the relay race there are four runners from each country. Each runner covers a quarter of the distance, called a leg, then passes a rigid hollow tube called a baton to the succeeding team member. Changeovers must be accomplished within a zone extending 18 m (20 yd) at the beginning of each baton exchange. In the composition three modern athletes run, holding their batons while in the background three ancient athletes are shown running a race known as the dolichos (a semi-endurance race of approximately 3,800 meters distance).
