this is very useful I am physical education student and I recommend this to any Physical education teacher out there that might have troubles with this technique.
For those of you too young to remember John Smith...He set the world record for 440 yard dash in 1971 and was the favorite going into the 1972 Olympics for the 400 meters. However, before Munich he pulled a hamstring; but he still made it through the Olympic qualifying rounds even though the leg had not fully healed. Shortly after the start of the 400 meter final he pulled the hamstring again and was unable to finish the race. John Smith still holds that 440 yard record (44.5) all these years later because of the switch to metric distances in the USA.
Mauricio Nuñez team USA uses this same technique, which is the cause of their problems. The Japanese use the underhand upsweep technique, which is why they beat the USA despite having much less talent.
Kristoffer McCarthy watch some videos of the Japanese men running the 4x100 and you’ll see. The outgoing runner puts his hand back in a natural movement, without twisting his arm or extending it in the exaggerated way most relay teams do; the incoming runner puts it in his hand with an underhanded motion instead of with a pushing or down-sweeeping motion. It’s much smoother and allows the outgoing runner to accelerate much more efficiently.
"Exchange" is actually the official term used because the race is judged on the baton going all the way around the track with runners merely being the means of propulsion for the baton. Think of it as the baton exchanging runners as it goes around the track.
@@batuksri Your misunderstanding is that you think there is only one way to use the word "exchange". Ever hear the expressions, "They exchanged a hand shake", "exchanged glances", exchanged ideas", ? No physical object was given for another in any of those cases. There need not be two different batons for the runners to have an exchange...here, straight from the dictionary for you.... BATON EXCHANGE -- The passing or exchange of a baton between runners in a relay Honestly, you must be a real dimwit who flunked English.
@@batuksri Arguing with a stupid person like you is like playing chess with a pigeon....it will knock over all the pieces, crap all over the board, and then fly away. That's exactly what you did.

@@mjfleming319 what do u mean by underhand upsweep?

Does anyone know who that white guy is? He's my doppelganger
His name is Jeff Ingalls from Agoura Hills Highschool

There is no exchange.
No one is swapping one baton for another.
Its a baton pass or handoff.
"Exchange" is actually the official term used because the race is judged on the baton going all the way around the track with runners merely being the means of propulsion for the baton. Think of it as the baton exchanging runners as it goes around the track.
@@CaneFu “Runner exchange”. A popular, exciting, athletic event among batons.

The last resort of the true mature debater.
I bow out now and leave you to wallow in your self-awarded linguistic triumph.
