"We are studying the'' idea of ​​creating a new race, or evidence in mixed pairs, something similar to what you see in Gelsenkirchen'' performance.'' S topic is being discussed, but it would not surprise me that this format may soon be added to our calendar, "said the Norwegian.
Unlike what happens in the medley relay, where women run through 6,000 meters and 7,500 men in the pairs competition the distance will be the same for both sexes.
The rationale behind the desire to introduce the new format is very simple: "In a relay team of four athletes nations be able to point to a coin are between 6 and 8. With a test in pairs instead would double , between 12 and 15, this would be very important, "said Besseberg.
In September, the'' Ibu will hold its biennial conference. We'll see if a decision is made about.
