The 100 metres, or 100-meter dash, is a sprint race in track and field competitions. The shortest common outdoor running distance, the 100-meter (109.36 yd) dash is one of the most popular and prestigious events in the sport of athletics. It has been contested at the Summer Olympics since 1896 for men and since 1928 for women.
Since 1921, the men's 100-yard dash was usually held until 1975, with the exception of the 100 meters being contested in Olympic years starting in 1932. Metrication occurred in 1976, so all subsequent championships (as well as those during some Olympic years before 1976) were at the metric distance.
