Everyone putting guys in first two exchanges. How very exciting.

Isn't that obligated? If not, glad everyone does the same so it's actually possible to follow who is doing well.

Damn, Oleksiak almost got Canada a bronze.

No, based on the heats they can go any order, it's just that the top teams all went two men then two women and it looks like no one changed their strategy

It's not obligated. I don't like it. If there is no mixing, then this already rather senseless gimmick is left with no sense at all.

France! What a surprise!

And it seems like Russia just can't get a medal in mixed relay at the Aquatic Championships.

Oleksiak and Manuel tie again for the best female 100 in the relay at 52 even.

There's only so much the women can do, we were last after the men went.

Mixed relays are useless gimmick. It's only a reason to give the power house nations more chances to win easy medals
