OF COURSE, THE MEN'S 100 METER IS A POPULAR EVENT AND WOULD BE A GREAT SPECTACLE TO WIN(IT ENTERTAINS ALL THE FANS WATCHING WATCHING HOW FAST THE RUNNERS RUN AND SPRINT.
The 100 metres, or 100-metre dash, is a sprint race in track and field competitions. The shortest common outdoor running distance, it is one of the most popular and prestigious events in the sport of athletics. It has been contested at the Summer Olympics since 1896 (1928 for women). The reigning 100 m Olympic champion is often named "the fastest man/woman in the world".
On an outdoor 400 metres running track, the 100 m is run on the home straight, with the start usually being set on an extension to make it a straight-line race. Runners begin in the starting blocks and the race begins when an official fires the starter's pistol. Sprinters typically reach top speed after somewhere between 50–60 m. Their speed then slows towards the finish line.
