DARREN STORR: Hi. My name is Darren Storr, and on behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to show you how to run 200 meters. Also, this is the 200 meters, it starts on the curve and it ends into the home straight. And like I said earlier, this is probably one of the more exciting races in track and field. The World and Olympic record is held by Michael Johnson, [SOUNDS LIKE] 19.32, and we all know it was set in Atlanta, Georgia, 1996 Olympics. Besides that, like I said earlier, the race is run efficiently and coordinately. Starting point, 100 meters, off the turn, sling yourself into the turn. Within 140 meters, you gradually get up, head is up. Your body is upright in position. Sling yourself into the turn, off the curve, into the straight. By doing that, you're positioning yourself for a better race, possibly a better time.
