Dar el relevo

[poli]

Can someone explain to me what this phrase means?

[Perikles]

to pass the baton ? (in a relay race, or metaphorically to hand over something like a task to someone else)

Edit: to pass the buck?

[sosia]

yes, to pass the baton, to give the turn to another

Y su nieto más joven tomó el relevo.

(By the by, I have heard more often "tomar el relevo" than "dar el relevo", but both are understandable.

(Donde las dan, las toman.)
