To determine the number of laps needed to cover 200m, you must first know the length of the track. If it's a standard 400m track, one lap would be 400m. Therefore, to cover 200m, you would need to run half a lap. If it's a 200m track, one lap would be 200m, so to cover 200m, you would run one lap.

They may receive bonuses from their team, sponsorships, or endorsements, but these are typically not directly tied to breaking records. The focus at the Olympics is on achieving the best performance rather than financial rewards for records.

Both the standing jump (straight vertical) and standing long jump have not been Olympic events since 1912, when they were discontinued. Ray Ewry held all the standing jump records, with his standing long jump record of 3.47 meters being most impressive until the sport was discontinued at the world level in 1938. There are rumours of 3.6 having been accomplished since, but since it is no longer a world class sport, they are difficult to verify.

Men don't run the 100 meter hurdles in world class competition, they run the 110 meter hurdles. The world record for the 110 meter hurdles is 12.87 seconds set by Dayron Robles of Cuba in 2008.
