THE CHOICES OF THE FAVORITE
HISTORY RELAY MEN IRIDATALa willingness to have a test given to nations rather than individuals was evident since the beginning of the World Cup.
Inaugural edition (1958) was in fact drafted an unofficial standings, where the result of each country was given by the sum of the four best times in the individual. The first real relay instead went on stage in 1959, when three runners walked 7.5 kilometers each. However it was an experiment, because since 1961 it returned to the sum of the times of 20 km, this time considering only the first three men from every nation.
Finally in 1965 came the 4x7,5 km as we know it today, then output from the limbo dell'ufficiosità and awarded the rank of "World Championship" starting from 1966.
As for the women, from the historical point of view there is a clear division in the hierarchies coincides with a geo-political event of epoch-making, in the case of men represented by the fall of the Berlin Wall.
After a brief Norwegian hegemony, the men's relay has in fact been for two decades fief of the Soviet Union and East Germany that have collected all the world titles up for grabs between 1969 and 1989, with the 'exception of an impromptu Finnish success. From 1990 onwards however hierarchies have changed, though rarely has left the ranks of historical superpowers.
