The 800m race is a middle-distance track event governed by specific rules to ensure fair competition. Runners start from a staggered position and must stay in their lanes for the first 100 meters, after which they can break to the inside lane. Pushing or obstructing other runners is prohibited, and athletes must complete the full distance of 800 meters. False starts can lead to disqualification, and the race typically involves two laps around a standard 400-meter track. |
