Ang karera ng 100-meter na kalalakihan ay naging bahagi ng bawat makabagong programa ng Olimpiko, na nagsisimula sa Mga Larong Athens ng 1896. Sa panahong iyon, tatlong lalaki ang nanalo ng magkakasunod na Olimpikong 100-metro na gintong medalya: Amerikanong Archie Hahn noong 1904 at pagkatapos ay sa Intercalated Mga Laro ng 1906; Amerikanong si Carl Lewis noong 1984-88; at Usain Bolt ng Jamaica, noong 2008-12.

Anim na kalalakihan ang nakatali o nagtakda ng 100-meter record ng mundo sa panahon ng Olimpiko. Nakakatawa, ang unang tao na gumawa nito, ang Amerikanong si Donald Lippincott, ay hindi kumita ng isang gintong medalya. Noong 1912 itinatag niya ang unang marka ng mundo na kinikilala ng IAAF sa pamamagitan ng pagkapanalong isang paunang init sa 10.6 segundo, ngunit kalaunan ay kailangang tumira para sa isang tanso na medalya sa pangwakas. Ang iba pang mga record-setters lahat ay nagwagi ng mga gintong medalya, na nagsisimula sa American Bob Hayes, na nakatali sa marka ng mundo noong 1964, at sinundan ni Jim Hines ng US (1968), Lewis (1988), Donovan Bailey (1996) at Bolt (ng Canada) ng Canada. 2008).
