European Championships Mixed Relay
The mixed relay brings men and women together in one of the most distinctive events at the European Championships. Each nation lines up with three men and three women, with the men completing their section first before handing over to the women. The final result is decided by the combined performance of both groups, making teamwork across the entire six rider squad essential.
