−	The '''200 metre''' race is an athletics sprint running event. Despite the fact that it is often a faster race than the [[100 m]], it is less popular than the 100m, and often attracts runners from that event who wish to "double up" and claim both titles. This feat has been achieved eight times at the [[Olympic Games]], the last by Carl Lewis in [[1984]]. An Olympic double of 200 m and [[~~400 m~~\|400 m]] was first achieved by Valerie Brisco-Hooks in [[1984]], and later by Michael Johnson and Marie-José Pérec in [[1996]].	+	The '''200 metre''' race is an athletics sprint running event.

	On an outdoor 400 m track, the race begins on the curve and ends on the home straight, so a combination of techniques are needed to successfully run the race. To most trained runners, this is a pure power race. A slightly shorter race, run on a straight track, was the first recorded event at the [[Ancient Olympics]]. Despite being twice as long as the 100 m, the best 200 m runners can run a 200 m in a time similar to or even faster than double their 100 m time. This is primarily because the athlete comes into the final straight at full speed already, therefore enabling them to run the second half of the 200 m faster than an athlete can usually run a regular 100 m.
