About: 55 metres

An Entity of Type: sports event, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

55 metres is a sprint event in track and field. It is a relatively uncommon non-championship event for indoor track and field. The history of the event lies in the 60-yard dash, which is about 5 inches shorter than 55 metres. Since the 1960s almost all countries have used metric measurements for track and field, hence the standard sprint distances for indoor competition have been 50 metres and 60 metres.

  • 55 metres is a sprint event in track and field. It is a relatively uncommon non-championship event for indoor track and field. The history of the event lies in the 60-yard dash, which is about 5 inches shorter than 55 metres. Since the 1960s almost all countries have used metric measurements for track and field, hence the standard sprint distances for indoor competition have been 50 metres and 60 metres. The single exception to this was the United States, which continued to use imperial measurements. In the 1980s efforts were made to switch track and field in the United States to used metric measurements and the 55 metres was adopted as a close equivalent to 60 yards. The NCAA Indoor Championships featured the event from 1984 to 1998 and the USA Track & Field Indoor Championships featured the event from 1987–1990. Subsequently the 55 metres were dropped from American championships in favour of the international standard of 60 metres. Since the late 1990s there have been very few significant open competitions over 55 metres and the event remains something of a historic anomaly. The distance is still frequently run in junior (below college) meets. (en)
  • 55米賽跑为一项田径短跑赛事，是比較少見的室内田徑比賽，没有被国际田联所认可，也未列在國際田徑錦標賽中。55米賽跑源自於，其距離只比55米要短５英吋。自從1960年代起，幾乎所有的國家都在田徑比賽中用國際單位制作為量測單位，因此此比賽項目就改為50米赛跑和60米赛跑。 唯一例外的國家是繼續使用英制单位的美国。在1980年代時美國也設法調整其田徑比賽的規則，改為使用國際單位制，因此將60碼賽跑調整為距離接近的55米賽跑。NCAA室內田徑錦標賽在1984年至1998年有舉辦此項比賽，則在1987年到1990年間有舉辦此比賽。之後，美國田徑錦標賽取消此項賽事，改為國際標準的60米。自1990年代後期開始，很少有重要的55米賽跑公開賽，此賽是歷史上少見的賽事之一。在一些中學的比賽中，仍會有這項賽事。 (zh)
