I like all the head to head stuff-- I enjoy the middle distance track and field events (1500, 5k, 10k) because they feel like actual races with some level of strategy, even if basic.  I like the swimming finals for that reason and obviously basketball too.  

Diving and gymnastics and some of the field events are interesting too from a "wow cant believe humans are doing this shit" perspective

Take a flyer on Frank Ntilikina on a min? Playing well for France right now and he looks like he can hit an open 3

Sprint races have this same appeal.

Sure it's "just" running but we're pushing the limits of human capability in that regard.

Over who tho?  I'm not down on the idea, just wondering.

The sprints are different because the strategy is the same in all of them— sprint.  There are mini mind games with pacing in the middle distance races.  Sometimes teams will even have guys run out ahead and set a pace that no one can keep and force interesting psychological games.  The sprints are the same every time and theres really no head to head dynamic happening

Its the most exciting 10 seconds in all of sports. And we usually don’t pay close attention outside of the Olympics, which makes the stakes feel that much more grand.

This^.

I keep up with World Championship and the College series. 

It's a no error race. Precision, form, power, focus, accuracy, technique, timing and plain ole speed. There is no forgiveness.

Yeah, just explaining my preferences, I understand ppl love the 100.  But if KG will allow me to be high brow again, the 200 is a much better measurement of fastest man in the world.  The 100 is a lot of reaction time and acceleration.
 

Anyways, I enjoy the theatrics of the sprinters at times— loved Michael Johnson back when we hosted.  And his gold shoes
