sprinting events

Sprinting events are short-distance track races where athletes run at their maximum speed for a specified distance, typically 100, 200, or 400 meters. These races test quickness, explosive power, and acceleration. Sprinters start from blocks or a standing position and aim to maintain speed throughout. Success depends on technique, strength, and reaction time. These events are among the most exciting in athletics, showcasing raw speed and athleticism in a brief, intense burst of effort.
