The meter dash may be the fastest event at the Olympics, but there is so much that goes on during those 10 seconds. Here's a look at the science and technique in the race, along with the sprinters' views of those meters. When getting into the blocks, author Warren Doscher writes in "The Art of Sprinting," the strongest leg should be in the forward pedal of the starting block [1]. The fingertips should be set just behind the starting line not touching it [2] with the arms mostly straight but the elbows unlocked [3].

Propelled by more effective training, grippier track surfaces, faster footwear, and, yes, pharmaceuticals, competitors at every level of track and field's premier event have steadily chipped away at the world's best meter times. Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt holds the current world record: a sprightly 9. The surprisingly persistent record progression is enough to make anyone ask: When will the fastest people on Earth cease to become any faster?
And when they do, what will the fastest time ultimately be? Depending on how you look at it, the answer to the first question could be "very soon," or "not soon at all.
Then came Bolt, who burst onto the scene at the Beijing Olympics with a record-wrecking time of 9. Is 13 seconds fast for m? How fast should a 16 year old run m? How fast should a 12 year old run m?
