Abstract
Sprint running is one of the oldest athletic events that has dominated the athletics scene since the first ancient Olympic games in 776 BC. Has this happened through an evolution process where this competitive gait has managed to adapt and modernise itself to remain contemporary? If this is the case, how do the sprinters of the 21st century compare to the ancient runners competing barefoot on plain dirt surface? What does the future of sprinting look like? Having spent over two decades studying sprint running through a biomechanical lens, Professor Bissas will philosophise about this pure, uncomplicated and aesthetic mode of human locomotion that obeys unfailingly the laws of classical mechanics.
