The first race, serving as a qualifier for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, was organised in Antalya, Turkey, during the 2024 World Athletics Race Walking Team Championships. This new event is controversial – criticised by some but welcomed by others for the variation in pace and placement that a relay provides.[better source needed] It was introduced to replace the 50km race walk at the Olympics.
