Recently ILS has announced their aim for inclusion at the 2032 Olympic Games with the Oceanman, Oceanwoman and Mixed Ocean Relay. Apparently the beachies weren't important enough, so beach flags will now be held in the beach volleyball arena during the Olympics beachies will now do all four sprints in the relay!
Here are some lines straight out of the updated rulebook.
April 2024:
S4 - 24: Based on feedback received from Olympic Connections the run for the Ocean M Lifesaver Relay has been amended to have the runner commence the event and then to complete the runs between the swim, surf board, and surf ski legs, and also the finish. The fixed sequence of legs is now run - swim – run - board – run - surf ski – run unless otherwise advised. A replacement diagram has also been inserted.
