60 meter run
The 60-meter run is a sprint discipline that is mainly run indoors. It is held on an exclusively straight route, with each runner having to stay in his own lane from start to finish. You start in the low start with the help of starting blocks.
In the hall, the 60-meter run is the shortest route that is run in championships. At the Summer Olympics in Paris in 1900 and in St. Louis in 1904 , the 60-meter run was an Olympic discipline.
The best men achieve a time under 6.50 seconds , the best women under 7 seconds.
