The400 metres,or400-meter dash,is a sprint event intrack and fieldcompetitions. It has been featured in theathleticsprogramme at theSummer Olympicssince 1896 for men and since 1964 for women. On a standard outdoorrunning track,it is one lap around the track. Runners start in staggered positions and race in separate lanes for the entire course. In many[clarification needed]countries, athletes previously competed in the440-yard dash(402.336 m)—which is a quarter of amile(1,760yards) and was referred to as the "quarter-mile" —instead of the 400 m (437.445 yards), though this distance is now obsolete.

Like other sprint disciplines, the 400 m involves the use ofstarting blocks.The runners take up position in the blocks on the "ready" command, adopt a more efficient starting posture whichisometrically preloadstheir muscles on the "set" command, and stride forwards from the blocks upon hearing thestarter's pistol.The blocks allow the runners to begin more powerfully and thereby contribute to their overall sprint speed capability. Maximum sprint speed capability is a significant contributing factor to success in the event, but athletes also require substantial speed endurance and the ability to cope well with high amounts oflactic acidto sustain a fast speed over a whole lap. While considered to be predominantly an anaerobic event, there is some aerobic involvement and the degree of aerobic training required for 400-metre athletes is open to debate.[1]

The current men'sworld recordand Olympic record is held byWayde van NiekerkofSouth Africa;his time of 43.03 seconds is the fastest 400 m ever run, in either an open 400 m or a relay. While Michael Johnson holds the fastest 400 m relay split with a time of 42.94, relay splits are typically faster because athletes have a running start and do not need to react to the gun if they are not the leadoff leg. Considering van Niekerk's reaction time of 0.181 seconds in his run of 43.03, van Niekerk covered the 400-metre distance itself in 42.85 seconds, therefore being 0.09 s faster than Johnson's relay split.[2]

Quincy Hallis the reigning men's Olympic champion.Antonio Watsonis the current men's world champion.Christopher Morales Williamsis the men's world indoor record holder with a time of 44.49 seconds.[3]

The current women's world record is held byMarita Koch,with a time of 47.60 seconds.Marileidy Paulinois the current women's world champion and women’s Olympic champion, and holds the Olympic record in a time of 48.17 seconds.Femke Bolholds the women's world indoor record at 49.17 (2024). The men'sT43Paralympic world record of 45.07 seconds is held byOscar Pistorius.[4]

An Olympic double of200 metresand 400 m was first achieved byValerie Brisco-Hooksin 1984, and later byMarie-José Pérecof France andMichael Johnsonfrom the United States on the same evening in 1996.Alberto Juantorenaof Cuba at the1976 Summer Olympicsbecame the first and so far the only athlete to win both the 400 m and800 mOlympic titles. Pérec became the first to defend the Olympic title in 1996, Johnson became the first and only man to do so in 2000. From 31 appearances in the Olympic Games, the men's gold medalist came from the US 19 times (as of 2019).
