Seting up for the Relay Exchange.		 r12.jpg
All that is required is some form of physical contact with the team member. 		 r7.jpg
Probably in the first few laps of the Relay.		 r10.jpg
Skaters usually give a big push, which helps to increase the speed

Chineese and Italians setting up to push.		 r14.jpg
Now Italy is in the lead, with China in 2nd and USA in 3rd.		 r17.jpg
A lap later, and the lead has changed to China.		 r16.jpg
Rusty Smith, who just skated the Relay at this World Cup.

More skaters pushing.		 r18.jpg
Great shot of an Italian skater (#48) whose name is unknown to me, as he, like Rusty, only skated in the Relay		 r19.jpg
Apolo Ohno, looking around to see what's going on.  Relays are difficult to follow, sometimes even for the skaters.		 r20.jpg
Rusty gets set to receive the 
relay from Apolo.

Crowded?  Eight skaters set to exchange at the same time.
