It's redundant. And same gender relays actually do have history behind them.

Why is mixed relay any less valid than normal relay?  

 

It just adds nothing to the already existing relays. Why not have a relay for over 40s or something truly different?

It's sad how Olympic quotas get wasted on an event like mixed relay... 

Relays are a place I believe Mixed events have a purpose and place.

The rich only get richer which is useless. Same thing as mass start in speed skating.

Disrespect the best event in Speed Skating and you’ll be seeing me pop up in Poland pretty soon sir

So they're wasting not only place but also a purpose

It is politIcal correctness from the IOC. All of a sudden there must be mixed team events in all sports. Some work well, others are just boring.
