Why do the Olympians have a staggered start for the 200m race and why do they run in lanes?

The track length is longer for the outer lanes. The starting blocks are staggered so that each runner has an equal distance to the finish line. They have to remain in their respective lanes because of the position where they started, to make it fair to all runners.
