All the athletics events articles use 'metres' as they were started by 
UK authors and it seems to have stuck, see 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/60_metres. There was a conflict when we 
started the 60 meter one that it clashed so was changed to 'meters'...

Since we seem to be in agreement, please do visit the article talk page 
and add your comments there.
