Episode Name.... 4 100m Sprint Relay
Season.......... 2018x18
Plot............ At the 2016 Rio Olympics, Japan's 4100m sprint relay team stunned the world when they clinched the silver medal. With World Championship 4100m bronze medalist Kenji Fujimitsu, we explore the secrets behind Japan's unique baton exchanges, which first propelled them to a medal at the 2008 Beijing Games. We take a closer look at the skill involved in the risky underhand or "up-sweep" baton pass technique, and discuss why the Japanese team originally decided to adopt this difficult approach.
