On the basis of visiting archaeological sites in Olympia, interviewing archaeologists and historians, refering to original historical data and analyzing multi-disciplinary arguments, this paper corrects some academic errors about the sprinting distances and demonstrates the detailed cause and effect of the constant distance in classic times. The diversified measurement standards of the ancient Greek metrology lead to different distances of Pan-Hellentic festivals' sprint. It is worthy to further define and clarify academic topics such as disciplines differentiation of the ancient Greek distance measurements, temporal and spatial migrations of the ancient Olympic Games, controversial mythical origins of the sprint competition etc.%在赴奥林匹亚考古遗址实地考察、访谈考古历史学家、追溯古希腊原典史料、进行多学科论证的基础上,勘验了学界有关短跑距离的错误史识,并论释了古典时期奥运会短跑距离固定化的来龙去脉.认为古希腊度量衡,尤其是长度测量标准的多元化,是造成泛希腊竞技赛会短跑距离不一的根本原因.古奥运会运动场的时空迁移、短跑项目的神话起源纷争、古希腊距离测量标准的学科分化等因素影响了对古奥运会真实短跑距离的判断,上述议题仍值得进一步厘定和明晰.
