As of now, the United States holds the world record for the men's 4x100m relay with a time of 36.84 seconds. The Jamaican women's team holds the world record for the women's 4x100m relay with a time of 40.82 seconds.

The World Record for running 800 meters was set in 1997 by Wilson Kipketer of Denmark in a time of 1:41.11.

An olympic relay team usually consists of four people per team.

59 seconds. It's not great, but im 13. We had the two fastest people in our class for our track unit, me and some other guy. I had leg #1 and he had leg #4. My time is 14.6 seconds for 100m and his was 13.4. Hope that answered your question.

the 4 by 1 is a relay team that sprints a 100m dash.

This is quite an easy question for me to answer as i am quite athletic, the answer to this one is 4, even in swimming the relay consists of 4, i assume you mean athletics and yes athletics relays consist of 4.

usually the 400 relay (also known as the 4x100), 800 relay (4x200), mile relay (4x400), and the 2 mile relay (4x800)

Take the amount of time it took for all four of the people to run the race. Then divide that number by 4. Or you could time them individually, that can be done on some phones or just have at least two stopwatches and take turns timing when the baton is handed off to the next person.

Because u shaddup

Most runners put a piece of tape or something similar on the track (I once saw a provincial medalist use some nearby dandelion from the infield when I was the exchange judge on one corner). When their teammate hits this mark, they turn and go. In general, the faster the runners, the further away this mark will be. Most high school runners need between 15-20 foot lengths, though the speed difference between the runners plays an important part.

You might need only 12 steps if you're a fair bit faster than the incoming runner, but 20 if you're a fair bit slower. It's a reliable way to count (using whatever shoes you'll be racing in), because you'll always have the measuring device handy. In practice, the runners find out how many steps they need, then use that come race time.

A relay involves 4 people passing on a baton for the race (4X100, 4X400 etc.)

A dash is like a sprint and is run individually (100m 200m 400m etc.) The difference is that a relay is run with more than one person.

between each of the people there are 100 meters

Each team gets assigned one lane. they all meet at the start to hear the rules and to check in. Then they are told to go to their spots so the number one runner would stay and each person would go 100 meters in front of the other one.

3, Original to second leg, second to third, and third to final runner.

An official track is 400 meters, which is 436 yards, or a quarter mile.

9.58 seconds for the 100m 19.19 seconds 200m and 4x100m 36.84 seconds

Nike Zoom Superfly G5 is the ancestor of R2. It is basically the same shoe; supposedly R2 has been improved.

Transferring of the baton in this race is typically blind. The outgoing runner reaches a straight arm backwards when they enter the changeover box, or when the incoming runner makes a verbal signal. The outgoing runner does not look backwards, and it is the responsibility of the incoming runner to thrust the baton into the outstretched hand, and not let go until the outgoing runner takes hold of it. Runners on the first and third legs typically run on the inside of the lane with the baton in their right hand, while runners on the second and fourth legs take the baton in their left. Polished handovers can compensate for a lack of basic speed to some extent, and disqualification for dropping the baton or failing to transfer it within the box are common, even at the highest level.
