World Mixed Teams Championship
- World Mixed Teams Championship
The Olympiad Mixed Teams Championship was initiated in 1962 as part of the World Pair Olympiad. It was contested only three times before being abandoned in 1974. It was revived in 1996 as World Transnational Mixed Teams Championship. It is held in conjunction with the World Team Olympiad every leap year, starting after the latter's qualifying stage has been concluded. Teams that failed to qualify in the main event as well as new teams may enter. Each team must comprise at least two men and two women. The maximum number of team members is six. During play each pair must consist of one women and one men. It is not necessary that all team members be from the same country – hence the transnational. A series of Swiss matches leads to the qualification of the top four teams for knockout semifinals and finals.
