ABSTRACT
As we know that the sporting achievement is always interesting fascinating to human. The major of performance to improve the record and broken as with time, keeping the importance of the subject we have decided to study the problem as suggested by D.Edward & M.Hamson [1]. In this communication we have collected the data for 200m men/ women race athlete time for all three medalists (Gold, silver & bronze) in Olympics from last 60 years i. e. from 1948 to 2008. All the data have been presented in tabular form. It have been observed that the steady fall in winning times for the men鈥檚 race indicates that no limiting time for runner at all, which seems unreasonable. We may conclude that the linear model is only valid for a limited range of the years (It may be less than 60 years of the span). Obviously a different model would seem more suitable as T= a exp(-b). Another important conclusion is that, the more rapid improvement shown in women鈥檚 performance could indicates a closing up winning times with the men so that there would be equality between men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 time near about the year 2090 if performance improvement continued at the same rate.
