I can't tell you his exact height at age 16, but i can tell you that he is 6'5" now, making him considerably tall to be a sprint world record holder. However, Usain shocked the world when he was 16 by running a 200m race in 20.25s and a 400m race in 45.25s.
The world record holder for the 1600 meter dash is Hicham El Guerrouj with a time of 3:43.13.
I believe the record is 19.19 seconds for the 200 meter race and it was set by Usain Bolt in 2009 at the World Championships
The World Record race-walking 1500m is 5:12.0+ by Algis Grigaliûnas (URS/LTU) 12 May 1990 Vilnius, Lithuania.
The person is David Rudisha. he has the world record and is soon to break it in 2012 olympic games. Go David!
The men's world record in the 5k race is held by Joshua Cheptegei from Uganda with a time of 12:35.36 set in 2020.
The team from Jamaica (Nesta Carter, Michael Frater, Usain Bolt, Asafa Powell) set the Olympic record and World Record at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, running the race in a time of 37.10 seconds.
It is the longest running professional spring running race in the world.
Yes
== == The 400-meter dash is the longest common sprint distance, and a regular track event. On a standard outdoor running track, it is exactly one lap around the track. Runners start in staggered positions and race in separate lanes for the entire course. In the United States, athletes previously competed in the 440-yard dash (402.336 m) instead of the 400 m, though this distance is now obsolete. Michael Johnson is the current men's world record holder, with a time of 43.18 seconds. Kerron Clement holds the world indoor record holder of 44.57 seconds. The current women's world record is held by Marita Koch, with a time of 47.60 seconds (set before the advent of out-of-competition testing). The reigning Olympic champions are LaShawn Merritt and Christine Ohuruogu. The Paralympic world record of 46.56 seconds is held by Oscar Pistorius.[1]
If your running a 400M race on the track, then you would run it in counter clockwise direction. But the world record for counter clockwise 440 yards set in 1984 by Scott Ruvolo 45.7
Either the world's shortest running race, or a very tense snail race.
