sprinting
Let an agent handle sprinting by event, rules, timing, records and athlete safety.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent handle sprinting by event, rules, timing, records and athlete safety.
Running over short distances at top speed, in track events such as 60 m, 100 m, 200 m and 400 m, and historical races such as the stadion.
