Sprint is a short running race with standardized distances of 100m, 200m, and 400m in track and field competitions. The original Olympic event was a 180m sprint. Sprinters wear specialized shoes with spikes and tight fitting clothes. A sprint starts with runners in starting blocks, where they get into position at the commands of "on your marks" and "set" before starting at the sound of a gun. Runners must stay in their lanes and not get a false start or they will be disqualified. The first runner to cross the finish line with their torso is the winner.

2. Brief History
Sprint is a short running race. In a track and field competition there
are generally three different sprint distances: 100m, 200m, and 400m.
The original Olympic event, the stadion race, was a sprint of around
180m. Running is one of the simplest competitions in the history of
mankind. No team is needed. No expensive equipment is required. It’s
one person against at least one other competitor. The stadion,
named for the facility in which it took place, was simple: run the length
of the arena, which was approximately 200 yards (180 meters). Since
then, sprinting has evolved and grown immensely since the first
barefoot and naked competitors ran the stadion on that exposed
ground. When the modern Olympic Games began in 1896, sprinters
ran a 100-meter dash and 400-meter dash. A 200-meter dash was
added in 1900, and relay races with teams of four sprinters each were
added for the 1912 Games. Women’s sprint events were included in
1928. Not only have the events changed, but the format has evolved
as well. Thomas Burke (USA) won the first-ever 100-meter dash in
12.0 seconds at the 1896 Games in Athens.

3. Materials and Equipment
1.Fancy Footwear
Track spikes are running shoes worn by sprinters during
practices and races. They are lightweight, so the sprinter
can run faster. The spikes at the bottom are pointed and
dig into the ground. This gives the runner traction when
rounding corners, allowing each step to be more efficient.
The spikes at the bottom of the shoes usually come in
three lengths. Chose the spikes that are designed for
sprinters.
2.Tight clothes that cover most of your body.
3.Starting Blocks Adjustable pedal starting blocks allow
the athlete to change the angle of the pedal to fit their
body type and starting style. Fixed angle starting blocks
allow for adjustment back and forth on the pedal only, and
are best for beginner sprinters and hurdlers.

4. How to play on the Game
1). A sprint race starts out with the runners in starting blocks
in their lane.
2).The official will say "on your marks". At this point the racer
should be focused on the track, have their feet placed in the
blocks, fingers on the ground behind the starting line, hands
slightly wider than shoulder width, muscles relaxed.
3).Next the official will say "Set". At this point the runner
should get their hips slightly above shoulder level, feet
pushed hard into the blocks, holding their breath and ready
to race.
4).Then there is the bang and the race has started.
5).The runner should exhale and run out of the blocks not
jumping.The initial part of the race the runner is accelerating
to top speed. Once top speed is achieved then endurance
kicks in as the runner tries to maintain that speed for the rest
of the sprint

Rules and Regulation
1.Sprinters should remain relaxed while running and move their arms in a straight back
and forth motion. They should be focused on their lane and the track at the start and the
finish line for the last half of the race or so.
2).You experience a false start when you begin running before the sound of the gun. You
may leave the blocks or starting line early for a number of reasons, but this is usually due
to a state of over-excitement at the start of the race. After one false start, the runners are
returned to the starting position and asked to begin again. If you make two false starts,
you are disqualified from the race.
3).Staying In Your Lane
. You must run within your marked lane throughout the race. Lanes are typically marked
by painted lines on a running track, but in an improvised setting they can simply be
assumed boundaries that are judged by sight. Leaving your lane can be dangerous, as it
may cause you to interfere or collide with another runner at high speed. Any time you
leave your lane, you are immediately disqualified.
4).Winning The Race
. The rules state that the first runner whose torso crosses over the finish line is the
winner. Only the torso is considered in judging the winner. Crossing the line with your
head, arms, legs or feet before another runner crosses with her torso will not help you win.
In close races, it can be difficult to determine the winner by sight, so a thin banner or tape
is stretched across the finish line. This technique makes it easier for officials to see which
runner makes contact with the tape first. At the 2012 Olympic games, Jamaican runner
Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce got gold for crossing the line in a 10.75 finish in the women's
100M.
