The 100-meter sprint has its origins in ancient Greece, where foot races were a key component of the Olympic Games. The modern version of the race emerged in the late 19th century as organized athletics began to take shape in Europe and the United States. It became a standard event in Track and Field competitions, with the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) formalizing the distance and rules. Today, the 100m sprint is considered one of the premier events in athletics, showcasing speed and explosive power.
