Governing body FINA agrees to introduce mixed relays Jul 25th 2013, 14:28 BARCELONA | Thu Jul 25, 2013 10:28am EDT BARCELONA (Reuters) - Swimming fans will be able to watch the top male and female athletes competing on the same relay team at major championships after world governing body FINA agreed to introduce a mixed version of the event on Thursday. "The feeling of everybody, swimmers and coaches and technical committee, is that this is a very interesting event with a lot of tactics involved," FINA executive director Cornel Marculescu told Reuters after the move was ratified at a technical congress in Barcelona.
