The race of 100 metres:
The race of 100 metres is a race of speed, the athleetes have to run
in a straight line of the track after leaving the starting block the
judge assigns each athlete a lane witch they have to keep in for the
hole race. The starting blocks are also used for the first part of the
4x100 metres relay race. The athleetes are in a crouching position
with their hands on the ground shoulder width, with their thumbs
behind the starting line.
Both feet are positioned on the starting blocks with the front foot
being 2 feet behind the starting line.
When the athleetes are ready the starter commands “ON YOUR
MARKS” at this point the athleetes are still and looking at the
ground. Then the command “GET SET” with this the athleetes
raises their hips a little higher than their shoulders.
And then the command “GO” your fingers lift of the ground your
arms go back and you run as fast as you can.
If someone leaves before “go” the starter will shoot the gun twice.
The race of 1000 metres:
The 1000 metres race consists of 2 and a half laps of the
athletics track. It is a race of resistance that doesn't provide the
starting blocks. At the first command the athleetes line up
behind the curved starting line. On the second command “ON
YOUR MARKS” slightly pend your legs and and on the third
command “GO” you start running trying to get to the inside
curve as quick as possible.
The athleetes are alerted at the left lap by a bell for the
athleetes who have already completed one and a half laps.
The 4x100 Relay
The start of the relay is in the curve line with starting blocks.
Each team is giver a track, each runner runs a distance of 100 m in
each change zone the runners head to pass the witness to the next
runner.
He change zone is delimited by a yellow line in each lane and is 20
metres long and the passing of the witness has to be made in change
zone. Unlike the first runner, others runners start standing up.
For achieve a good change you need to mark the ground with chalk
with a suitable point that you can run from. When your team mate
arrives at that point start running.
The changing of the witness happens when the team mate running
with if catches up with the runner, his arm extends back and the
change is made.
Once the change is made you can stop running but you can't come out
of your lane until all of the race has finished.
The first runner bring the witness in his right hand and makes the
change into the left hand and then the sequence continues left, right,
left, right.
