field competitions. The shortest common indoor
running distance, it is one of the most popular and
prestigious events in athletics.

device made up of two adjustable pedals. A runner is
disqualified from a race if they make two false starts, which are
counted if they leave the starting blocks before the starting gun
is fired.

4. Mid-race
Runners typically reach their top speed just past the halfway point of the
race and they progressively decelerate in the later stages of the race.
Maintaining that top speed for as long as possible is a primary focus of
training for the 100 m.

The winner, is determined by the first athlete with his or
her trunk nearer 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.
