The type of baton exchange in which the receiver of the baton will not see as the baton is being placed in his/her hand is called?

In non-visual baton exchange, the receiving runner does not look back at the approaching teammate. The receiver extends their hand backward while running forward, trusting the passer to place the baton correctly.

This technique is faster because the receiver maintains forward speed without turning. The passer must accurately place the baton in the receiver’s outstretched hand.

Non-visual exchange requires practice and trust between teammates. It is the preferred method in competitive relay races because it saves time.
