Because as an international event not driven by American oddities of measurement, the more common meter is used. There is a 100 meter dash, and the reigning Medalists are for the 2008 Olympics:
Women
- Gold - Shelly-Ann Fraser, Jamaica (Time 10.78)
- Silver - Sherone Simpson, Jamaica (Time 10.98)
- Silver - Kerron Stewart, Jamaica (Time 10.98)
- Gold - Usain Bolt, Jamaica (Time 9.69 )
- Silver - Richard Thompson, Trinidad (Time 9.89 )
- Bronze - Walter Dix, USA (Time 9.91)
