Why is it men's 1 10 meter hurdles instead of 100 meter hurdles?

At the Olympic Games, the men's hurdles in sprint are 1 100 meters, and the women's hurdles are 100 meters. \x0d\ Hurdle sprint first appeared in Britain, and it is 100 yard, which is 9 1 meter. Later, it was adopted by sports competitions in Cambridge and Oxford. It was 120 yards and became 109 meters. Then the French walked one meter 1 10 meter and settled down. To a large extent, it is out of tradition. \x0d\ Actually, there is still a long way to go in hurdling. For example, indoor races are 60 meters, 55 meters and 50 meters, and outdoor races are 400 meters, 300 meters and 200 meters. \x0d\ At present, it is stipulated that the distance from the start to the first hurdle is13.72m for men and13m for women. The hurdle spacing is 9.65,438+04m for men and 8.5m for women, so that athletes do not need to adjust different hurdle techniques in different competitions. From the starting point of middle and long distance running to the first hurdle, both men and women are 45 meters, and the hurdle distance is 35 meters. But the distance from the last column to the finish line is not required, and how much distance is left.
