A 200 metre race is a sprint running event. Sprints are short running races in athletics. They are roughly classified as events in which top runners will not have to "pace themselves" but can run as fast as Despite the fact that it is often a faster race than the 100 m, it is less popular than the 100 m, and often attracts runners from that event who wish to "double up" and claim both titles. This feat has been achieved eight times at the Olympic Games, the last by Carl Lewis in 1984. The Olympic Games is an international Multi-sport event established for both summer and winter games Frederick Carlton ("Carl" Lewis (born July 1 1961 is a retired American track and field athlete who won 10 Olympic medals including 9 golds and 10 An Olympic double of 200 m and 400 m was first achieved by Valerie Brisco-Hooks in 1984, and later by Michael Johnson and Marie-José Pérec in 1996. 400 m is a common Track running event It is the longest common sprint distance Valerie Ann Brisco-Hooks (born July 6, 1960 in Greenwood Mississippi) won three gold medals as an Olympic Track and field Michael Duane Johnson (born September 13 1967 in Marie-José Pérec (born May 9, 1968) is a French athlete, specialised in the 200 and 400 m, and a triple Olympic champion
On an outdoor 400 m track, the race begins on the curve and ends on the home straight, so a combination of techniques are needed to successfully run the race. To most trained runners, this is a pure power race. A slightly shorter race, run on a straight track, was the first recorded event at the Ancient Olympics. The Ancient Olympic Games, originally referred to as simply the Olympic Games (Ολυμπιακοί Αγώνες Olympiakoi Agones) were a series of Athletic Despite being twice as long as the 100 m, the best 200 m runners can run a 200 m in a time similar to or even faster than double their 100 m time. This is primarily because the athlete comes into the final straight at full speed already, therefore enabling them to run the second half of the 200 m faster than an athlete can usually run a regular 100 m. For example, Michael Johnson's world record represents an average speed of 10. 35 m/s (37. 3 km/h or 23. 1 mph), faster than the average speed for the current 100 m world record of 9. 72 s, which represents an average speed of 10. 29 m/s (37. 0 km/h or 23. 0 mph).
In the United States, athletes previously ran the 220-yard dash (201. The United States of America —commonly referred to as the A yard (abbreviation yd) is a unit of Length in several different systems including English units Imperial units and United 168 m) instead of the 200 m, though the distance is now obsolete. The standard adjustment used for the conversion from times recorded over 220 yards to 200 m times is 0. 1 seconds,[1] but other conversion factors exist.
The current men's world record holder is Michael Johnson, who ran 19. 32 s at the 1996 Olympic Games.
