The most popular track event at the Tokyo World Championships take place this weekend.
World Athletics Championships 2025 start tomorrow in Tokyo, with 27 track, road, field, and combined events between September 13-21, at the same venue familiar to many athletes, as it held the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games. Among all the events, few captures the attention of the public as the 100 metres, the shortest running distance, which really defines the fastest men and women in the planet.
Records on 100 meters will likely remain unbeaten (Usain Bolt holds the record in men’s category since 2009, 9.58 seconds, and Florence Griffith-Joyner still holds it since 1988, 10.49 seconds. However, at World Championships, the current record in women’s 100m is held by Sha¡Carri Richardson, 10.
