Switzerland took the women’s relay and Norway the men’s relay at the European Championships relay in Tessin, Switzerland.
In the women’s relay Switzerland dominated from start to finish, with one of their two teams being in the lead throughout the relay. As only on team from each country counts in the final standings, the silver medal went to Sweden and the bronze medal to Denmark even if Switzerland 2 was the second team into the finish.
In the men’s relay it was a tight battle for gold between Norway and Switzerland – Norway’s Olav Lundanes being some 15-30 seconds ahead of Switzerland’s Daniel Hubmann throughout all of the last leg. Hubmann never managed to close the gap, and in the end Norway won 30 seconds ahead of Switzerland. France took the bronze medal.
