Your best "same names" 4x100m relays?...

[TN1965]

This is probably the fastest identical first name team.

Irina Privalova 10.77.
Irina Slyusar 11.05.
Irina Pukha 11.12.
Irina Khabarova 11.18.

They would get 0.05 upgrade by replacing Khabarova with Irena Szewinska.

Next fastest would be...

Michelle Lee Ahye 10.82.
Michelle Burrell Finn 11.05.
Michelle Freeman 11.16.
Michelle Collins 11.19.

Marina Zhorova 10.98.
Marina Trandenkova 11.06.
Marina Molokova 11.08.
Marina Kislova.

Interestingly, two of the top three teams are teams of Slavic names. This is contrasting with the fastest last name teams dominated by Anglo names.

TN1965, you should write a book about first/last names statistics around relays, 🥇🥇🥇

Your best "same last name" 100/200/400/800 relay?
I see a very fast Smith family.
Can you find its first names?

For the third leg, who would you choose between John Smith, LaMont Smith, Willie Smith or Matt Hudson-Smith at their bests?
I would go for LaMont Smith.

Oh I forgot (I was too suck in recent memory!)

I would actually maybe go with 1971/1972 John Smith. Give him new spikes and hes running a 43.5 or better split!
