100 metres
The 100 metres, or 100-meter dash, is a sprint race in track and field competitions. The shortest common outdoor running distance, the 100-meter (109.36 yd) dash is one of the most popular and prestigious events in the sport of athletics. It has been contested at the Summer Olympics since 1896 for men and since 1928 for women. The inaugural World Championships were in 1983.

Women's 100 m Final – 2015 World Championships, won by Jamaican sprinter Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce.
The reigning 100 m Olympic or world champion is often named "the fastest man or woman in the world". Fred Kerley and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce are the reigning world champions; Marcell Jacobs and Elaine Thompson-Herah are the men's and women's Olympic champions.
On an outdoor 400-metre running track, the 100 m is held on the home straight, with the start usually being set on an extension to make it a straight-line race. There are three instructions given to the runners immediately before and at the beginning of the race: "on your marks," "set," and the firing of the starter's pistol. The runners move to the starting blocks when they hear the 'on your marks' instruction. The following instruction, to adopt the 'set' position, allows them to adopt a more efficient starting posture and isometrically preload their muscles: this will help them to start faster. A race-official then fires the starter's pistol to signal the race beginning and the sprinters stride forwards from the blocks. Sprinters typically reach top speed after somewhere between 50 and 60 m. Their speed then slows towards the finish line.
The 10-second barrier has historically been a barometer of fast men's performances, while the best female sprinters take eleven seconds or less to complete the race. The current men's world record is 9.58 seconds, set by Jamaica's Usain Bolt in 2009, while the women's world record of 10.49 seconds set by American Florence Griffith-Joyner in 1988 remains unbroken.[a]
Race dynamics
Start
Male sprinters await the starter's instructions
At the start, some athletes play psychological games such as trying to be last to the starting blocks.[3][4][5]
At high level meets, the time between the gun and first kick against the starting block is measured electronically, via sensors built in the gun and the blocks. A reaction time less than 0.1 s is considered a false start. The 0.2-second interval accounts for the sum of the time it takes for the sound of the starter's pistol to reach the runners' ears, and the time they take to react to it.
For many years a sprinter was disqualified if responsible for two false starts individually. However, this rule allowed some major races to be restarted so many times that the sprinters started to lose focus. The next iteration of the rule, introduced in February 2003, meant that one false start was allowed among the field, but anyone responsible for a subsequent false start was disqualified.
This rule led to some sprinters deliberately false-starting to gain a psychological advantage: an individual with a slower reaction time might false-start, forcing the faster starters to wait and be sure of hearing the gun for the subsequent start, thereby losing some of their advantage. To avoid such abuse and to improve spectator enjoyment, the IAAF implemented a further change in the 2010 season – a false starting athlete now receives immediate disqualification.[6] This proposal was met with objections when first raised in 2005, on the grounds that it would not leave any room for innocent mistakes. Justin Gatlin commented, "Just a flinch or a leg cramp could cost you a year's worth of work."[7] The rule had a dramatic impact at the 2011 World Championships, when current world record holder Usain Bolt was disqualified.[8][9]
Mid-race
Runners usually reach their top speed just past the halfway point of the race and progressively decelerate to the finish. Maintaining that top speed for as long as possible is a primary focus of training for the 100 m.[10] Pacing and running tactics do not play a significant role in the 100 m, as success in the event depends more on pure athletic qualities and technique.
Finish
The winner, by IAAF Competition Rules, is determined by the first athlete with their torso (not including limbs, head, or neck) over the nearer edge of the finish line.[11] There is therefore no requirement for the entire body to cross the finish line. When the placing of the athletes is not obvious, a photo finish is used to distinguish which runner was first to cross the line.
Climatic conditions
Climatic conditions, in particular air resistance, can affect performances in the 100 m. A strong head wind is very detrimental to performance, while a tail wind can improve performances significantly. For this reason, a maximum tail wind of 2.0 m/s is allowed for a 100 m performance to be considered eligible for records, or "wind legal".
Furthermore, sprint athletes perform a better run at high altitudes because of the thinner air, which provides less air resistance. In theory, the thinner air would also make breathing slightly more difficult (due to the partial pressure of oxygen being lower), but this difference is negligible for sprint distances where all the oxygen needed for the short dash is already in the muscles and bloodstream when the race starts. While there are no limitations on altitude, performances made at altitudes greater than 1000 m above sea level are marked with an "A".[12]
10-second barrier
The 10-second mark had been widely considered a barrier for the 100 metres in men's sprinting. The first man to break the 10 second barrier with automatic timing was Jim Hines at the 1968 Summer Olympics. Since then, numerous sprinters have run faster than 10 seconds.
Ethnicity
Only male sprinters have beaten the 100 m 10-second barrier, the vast majority of them being of West African descent. Namibian (formerly South-West Africa) Frankie Fredericks became the first man of non-West African heritage to achieve the feat in 1991 and in 2003 Australia's Patrick Johnson (an Indigenous Australian with Irish heritage) became the first sub-10-second runner without an African background.[13][b][14][15]
In 2010, French sprinter Christophe Lemaitre became the first Caucasian to break the 10-second barrier.[15] In 2017, Azerbaijani-born naturalized Turkish Ramil Guliyev followed[16] and in 2018, Filippo Tortu became the first Italian to run under 10s.
In the Prefontaine Classic 2015 Diamond League meet at Eugene, Su Bingtian of China ran a time of 9.99 seconds, becoming the first East Asian athlete to officially break the 10-second barrier. Subsequently, Chinese sprinter Xie Zhenye ran 9.97 on June 19, 2018. On 1 August 2021, Su improved his Asian record at the Olympic semifinal in Tokyo with a time of 9.83. On 9 September 2017, Yoshihide Kiryū became the first man from Japan to break the 10-second barrier in the 100 metres, running a 9.98 (+1.8) at an intercollegiate meet in Fukui. Kiryu's Japanese teammates Yuki Koike followed suite and ran 9.98 on july 20, 2019, and Ryota Yamagata ran 9.95 on June 6, 2021.
British sprinter Adam Gemili, an athlete with an Iranian-Moroccan ethnic background, became the first sprinter of Middle-Eastern and North African ancestry to legally break the barrier on 7 June 2015, having done so earlier in the same season with an excessive wind reading.[17]
On 3 July 2022, Yupun Abeykoon became the first Sri Lankan as well as first South Asian sprinter in history ever to break 10 second barrier when he won the Resisprint International 2022 title in Switzerland. Yupun's achievement also meant Sri Lanka became the 32nd country in the world to have a sub-10 sprinter and Yupun also became the 167th member of the sub-10 club.
Record performances
Major 100 m races, such as at the Olympic Games, attract much attention, particularly when the world record is thought to be within reach.
The men's world record has been improved upon twelve times since electronic timing became mandatory in 1977.[18] The current men's world record of 9.58 s is held by Usain Bolt of Jamaica, set at the 2009 World Athletics Championships final in Berlin, Germany on 16 August 2009, breaking his own previous world record by 0.11 s.[19] The current women's world record of 10.49 s was set by Florence Griffith-Joyner of the US, at the 1988 United States Olympic Trials in Indianapolis, Indiana, on 16 July 1988[20] breaking Evelyn Ashford's four-year-old world record by .27 seconds. The extraordinary nature of this result and those of several other sprinters in this race raised the possibility of a technical malfunction with the wind gauge which read at 0.0 m/s- a reading which was at complete odds to the windy conditions on the day with high wind speeds being recorded in all other sprints before and after this race as well as the parallel long jump runway at the time of the Griffith-Joyner performance. All scientific studies commissioned by the IAAF and independent organisations since have confirmed there was certainly an illegal tailwind of between 5 m/s – 7 m/s at the time. This should have annulled the legality of this result, although the IAAF has chosen not to take this course of action. The legitimate next best wind legal performance would therefore be Griffith-Joyner's 10.61s performance in the final the next day.[21]
Some records have been marred by prohibited drug use – in particular, the scandal at the 1988 Summer Olympics when the winner, Canadian Ben Johnson was stripped of his medal and world record.
Jim Hines, Ronnie Ray Smith and Charles Greene were the first to break the 10-second barrier in the 100 m, all on 20 June 1968, the Night of Speed. Hines also recorded the first legal electronically timed sub-10 second 100 m in winning the 100 metres at the 1968 Olympics. Bob Hayes ran a wind-assisted 9.91 seconds at the 1964 Olympics.

Assisted marks
Any performance with a following wind of more than 2.0 metres per second is not counted for record purposes. Below is a list of wind-assisted times (equal or superior to 9.80). Only times that are superior to legal bests are shown:
- Justin Gatlin ran 9.45 (+20 m/s) in 2011 on the Japanese TV show Kasupe! assisted by wind machines blowing at speeds over 25 metres per second.[48] Due to the nature of the performance, World Athletics has not recognized it as a legitimate clocking.
- Tyson Gay (USA) ran 9.68 (+4.1 m/s) during the U.S. Olympic Trials in Eugene, Oregon on 29 June 2008.[49]
- Obadele Thompson (BAR) ran 9.69 (+5.7 m/s) at high altitude in El Paso, Texas on 13 April 1996, which stood as the fastest ever 100 metres time for 12 years.
- Andre De Grasse (CAN) ran 9.69 (+4.8 m/s) during the Diamond League in Stockholm on 18 June 2017,[50] 9.74 (+2.9 m/s) during the Diamond League in Eugene, Oregon on 21 August 2021, and 9.75 (+2.7 m/s) during the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Oregon on 12 June 2015.

- Walter Dix (USA) ran 9.80 (+4.1 m/s) during the U.S. Olympic Trials in Eugene, Oregon on 29 June 2008.
- Mike Rodgers (USA) ran 9.80 (+2.7 m/s) in Eugene, Oregon on 31 May 2014 and 9.80 (+2.4 m/s) in Sacramento, California on 27 June 2014.
- Terrance Laird (USA) ran 9.80 (+3.2 m/s) in College Station, Texas on 15 May 2021.[51]
- Marvin Bracy (USA) ran 9.80 (+2.9 m/s) in Montverde, Florida on 4 June 2022.
Annulled marks
- Tim Montgomery ran 9.78 (+2.0 m/s) in Paris on 14 September 2002, which was at the time ratified as a world record.[52] However, the record was rescinded in December 2005 following his indictment in the BALCO scandal on drug use and drug trafficking charges.[53] The time had stood as the world record until Asafa Powell first ran 9.77.[54]
- Ben Johnson ran 9.79 (+1.1 m/s) at the Olympics in Seoul on 24 September 1988, but he was disqualified after he tested positive for stanozolol after the race. He subsequently admitted to drug use between 1981 and 1988, and his time of 9.83 (+1.0 m/s) at the World Championships in Rome on 30 August 1987 was rescinded.

This article is about the 100 metres race For lengths on the order of magnitude of 100 metres see Orders of magnitude length 1 hectometre The 100 metres or 100 meter dash is a sprint race in track and field competitions The shortest common outdoor running distance the 100 meter 109 36 yd dash is one of the most popular and prestigious events in the sport of athletics It has been contested at the Summer Olympics since 1896 for men and since 1928 for women The inaugural World Championships were in 1983 Athletics100 metresStart of the men s 100 metres final at the2012 Olympic Games in

won by Jamaican sprinter Shelly Ann Fraser Pryce The reigning 100 m Olympic or world champion is often named the fastest man or woman in the world Fred Kerley and Shelly Ann Fraser Pryce are the reigning world champions Marcell Jacobs and Elaine Thompson Herah are the men s and women s Olympic champions On an outdoor 400 metre running track the 100 m is held on the home straight with the start usually being set on an extension to make it a straight line race There are three instructions given to the runners immediately before and at the beginning of the race on your marks set and the firing of the starter s pistol The runners move to the starting blocks when they hear the on your marks instruction The following instruction to adopt the set position allows them to adopt a more efficient starting posture and isometrically preload their muscles this will help them to start faster A race official then fires the starter s pistol to signal the race beginning and the sprinters stride forwards from the blocks Sprinters typically reach top speed after somewhere between 50 and 60 m Their speed then slows towards the finish line The 10 second barrier has historically been a barometer of fast men s performances while the best female sprinters take eleven seconds or less to complete the race The current men s world record is 9 58 seconds set by Jamaica s Usain Bolt in 2009 while the women s world record of 10 49 seconds set by American Florence Griffith Joyner in 1988 remains unbroken a Contents 1 Race dynamics 1 1 Start 1 2 Mid race 1 3 Finish 1 4 Climatic conditions 2

to the starting blocks 3 4 5 At high level meets the time between the gun and first kick against the starting block is measured electronically via sensors built in the gun and the blocks A reaction time less than 0 1 s is considered a false start The 0 2 second interval accounts for the sum of the time it takes for the sound of the starter s pistol to reach the runners ears and the time they take to react to it For many years a sprinter was disqualified if responsible for two false starts individually However this rule allowed some major races to be restarted so many times that the sprinters started to lose focus The next iteration of the rule introduced in February 2003 meant that one false start was allowed among the field but anyone responsible for a subsequent false start was disqualified This rule led to some sprinters deliberately false starting to gain a psychological advantage an individual with a slower reaction time might false start forcing the faster starters to wait and be sure of hearing the gun for the subsequent start thereby losing some of their advantage To avoid such abuse and to improve spectator enjoyment the IAAF implemented a further change in the 2010 season a false starting athlete now receives immediate disqualification 6 This proposal was met with objections when first raised in 2005 on the grounds that it would not leave any room for innocent mistakes Justin Gatlin commented Just a flinch or a leg cramp could cost you a year s worth of work 7 The rule had a dramatic impact at the 2011 World Championships when current world record holder Usain Bolt was disqualified 8 9 Mid race Edit Runners usually reach their top speed just past the halfway point of the race and progressively decelerate to the finish Maintaining that top speed for as long as possible is a primary focus of training for the 100 m 10 Pacing and running tactics do not play a significant role in the 100 m as success in the event depends more on pure athletic qualities and technique Finish Edit The winner by IAAF Competition Rules is determined by the first athlete with their torso not including limbs head or neck over the nearer edge of the finish line 11 There is therefore no requirement for the entire body to cross the finish line When the placing of the athletes is not obvious a photo finish is used to distinguish which runner was first to cross the line Climatic conditions Edit See also Wind assistance Climatic conditions in particular air resistance can affect performances in the 100 m A strong head wind is very detrimental to performance while a tail wind can improve performances significantly For this reason a maximum tail wind of 2 0 m s is allowed for a 100 m performance to be considered eligible for records or wind legal Furthermore sprint athletes perform a better run at high altitudes because of the thinner air which provides less air resistance In theory the thinner air would also make breathing slightly more difficult due to the partial pressure of oxygen being lower but this difference is negligible for sprint distances where all the oxygen needed for the short dash is already in the muscles and bloodstream when the race starts While there are no limitations on altitude performances made at altitudes greater than 1000 m above sea level are marked with an A 12 10 second barrier EditMain article 10 second barrier The 10 second mark had been widely considered a barrier for the 100 metres in men s sprinting The first man to break the 10 second barrier with automatic timing was Jim Hines at the 1968 Summer Olympics Since then numerous sprinters have run faster than 10 seconds Ethnicity Edit Main article Race and sports Only male sprinters have beaten the 100 m 10 second barrier the vast majority of them being of West African descent Namibian formerly South West Africa Frankie Fredericks became the first man of non West African heritage to achieve the feat in 1991 and in 2003 Australia s Patrick Johnson an Indigenous Australian with Irish heritage became the first sub 10 second runner without an African background 13 b 14 15 In 2010 French sprinter Christophe Lemaitre became the first Caucasian to break the 10 second barrier 15 In 2017 Azerbaijani born naturalized Turkish Ramil Guliyev followed 16 and in 2018 Filippo Tortu became the first Italian to run under 10s In the Prefontaine Classic 2015 Diamond League meet at Eugene Su Bingtian of China ran a time of 9 99 seconds becoming the first East Asian athlete to officially break the 10 second barrier Subsequently Chinese sprinter Xie Zhenye ran 9 97 on June 19 2018 On 1 August 2021 Su improved his Asian record at the Olympic semifinal in Tokyo with a time of 9 83 On 9 September 2017 Yoshihide Kiryu became the first man from Japan to break the 10 second barrier in the 100 metres running a 9 98 1 8 at an intercollegiate meet in Fukui Kiryu s Japanese teammates Yuki Koike followed suite and ran 9 98 on july 20 2019 and Ryota Yamagata ran 9 95 on June 6 2021 British sprinter Adam Gemili an athlete with an Iranian Moroccan ethnic background became the first sprinter of Middle Eastern and North African ancestry to legally break the barrier on 7 June 2015 having done so earlier in the same season with an excessive wind reading 17 On 3 July 2022 Yupun Abeykoon became the first Sri Lankan as well as first South Asian sprinter in history ever to break 10 second barrier when he won the Resisprint International 2022 title in Switzerland Yupun s achievement also meant Sri Lanka became the 32nd country in the world to have a sub 10 sprinter and Yupun also became the 167th member of the sub 10 club Record performances EditMajor 100 m races such as at the Olympic Games attract much attention particularly when the world record is thought to be within reach The men s world record has been improved upon twelve times since electronic timing became mandatory in 1977 18 The current men s world record of 9 58 s is held by Usain Bolt of Jamaica set at the 2009 World Athletics Championships final in Berlin Germany on 16 August 2009 breaking his own previous world record by 0 11 s 19 The current women s world record of 10 49 s was set by Florence Griffith Joyner of the US at the 1988 United States Olympic Trials in Indianapolis Indiana on 16 July 1988 20 breaking Evelyn Ashford s four year old world record by 27 seconds The extraordinary nature of this result and those of several other sprinters in this race raised the possibility of a technical malfunction with the wind gauge which read at 0 0 m s a reading which was at complete odds to the windy conditions on the day with high wind speeds being recorded in all other sprints before and after this race as well as the parallel long jump runway at the time of the Griffith Joyner performance All scientific studies commissioned by the IAAF and independent organisations since have confirmed there was certainly an illegal tailwind of between 5 m s 7 m s at the time This should have annulled the legality of this result although the IAAF has chosen not to take this course of action The legitimate next best wind legal performance would therefore be Griffith Joyner s 10 61s performance in the final the next day 21 Some records have been marred by prohibited drug use in particular the scandal at the 1988 Summer Olympics when the winner Canadian Ben Johnson was stripped of his medal and world record Jim Hines Ronnie Ray Smith and Charles Greene were the first to break the 10 second barrier in the 100 m all on 20 June 1968 the Night of Speed Hines also recorded the first legal electronically timed sub 10 second 100 m in winning the 100 metres at the 1968 Olympics Bob Hayes ran a wind assisted 9 91 seconds at the 1964 Olympics Continental
