	Sprint (race) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 60 metres is normally run indoors, on a section inside an indoor athletic track (which is only 200 m long).
		The 100 metres is the best-known sprint distance, and alongside the mile and the marathon it is arguably athletics' most prestigious event.
		The ability to "run a good bend" is key at this distance, as a well conditioned runner will be able to run 200 metres in an average speed higher than his 100 m speed.

	200 metres - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This feat has been achieved eight times at the Olympic Games, the last by Carl Lewis in 1984.
		An Olympic double of 200 m and 400 m was first achieved by Valerie Brisco-Hooks in 1984, and later by Michael Johnson and Marie-José Perec in 1996.
		On an outdoor 400 m track, the race begins on the curve and ends on the home straight, so a combination of techniques are needed to successfully run the race.

	400 metre Pace (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The fastest you could run after that would be at the rate of 13.75 seconds per 100 metres (aerobic threshold), i.e., 27.5 seconds for the last 200 metres, which would give you 50 seconds for the 400 metres.
		Based on an athletes 100 metre time it may be possible to predict their potential time for 400 metres using optimal speeds of 95% of 100 metres pace for the first 200 metres and 87.5% for the last 200 metres.
		Examination of the 100 metres split times for the athletes in the 1988 Olympics 400 metres final indicate that the 1st 100 metres is 25.4% of the total time, the 2nd 100 metres 23.3%, the 3rd 100 metres 24.4% and the final 100 metres 26.9%.

		Jones, who won the 100 and 200 metres and ran in the winning 4 x 400 metres relay team at the Sydney Olympics, has qualified only for the long jump at the Athens Games.

		Jones, who has been under scrutiny by the US Anti-Doping Agency, said she pulled out of the 200 metres with fatigue, and that the birth of her son with partner Tim Montgomery had made her comeback more difficult than expected.

	Powerwatch News - Increased Leukaemia risk up to 600 metres away from Powerlines
		Interestingly, the RR for 500-599 metres was 1.36 (36% increased risk), which was the highest ratio between 200 and 599 metres.
		This is extremely important, as it means that harmful isotopes of heavy metals such as lead, polonium and cadmium in the atmosphere have a five to six times greater chance of being deposited in your lungs, potentially increasing the harmful effects of air pollution by up to 500%.
		According to Professor Henshaw of Bristol University the effects of corona ions are unlikely to be present at all within 150 metres of powerlines, but could quite easily be the major factor in the increase in leukaemia seen greater than 200 metres away.

	Greene survives scare to win 200 metres (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Jones finished the women's 200 in 22,10 seconds to overcome the disappointment of placing second in the women's long jump the previous afternoon.
		Greene appeared highly motivated for a blazing time in the 200 meters despite the withdrawal of world record-holder Michael Johnson two days earlier, and his bid for a flying start almost costly him dearly.
		The newly crowned 100-meter world record-holder, who plans to represent the United States in the 100 and 200 meters and the 4x100 at the World Championships in Seville, needed to touch the track with his left hand to balance himself after stumbling out of the blocks.

	Non-Toxic Shot
		If you're hunting waterfowl, (swans, geese, ducks and pukeko), MORE THAN 200 metres from "a waterbodv", which is taken as any stream, river, lake or tidal area, "more than 3 metres wide", you can continue to use lead shot, if you wish.
		§ If you are within 200 metres of a waterway, over 3 metres in width, and while upland gamebird hunting with lead and encounter a duck, then either don't shoot at it with lead or cover your risk by using only non-toxic shot.
		So you may be 500 metres away from the water's edge at low tide, but this is not a defense.
