to get that centimeter more
Centimeter is one thing; inch is another kind of measure. Even in UK, now the decimal metric system is used.

This is fairly neutral, as presumably it has to cover disciplines other than just running (high-jump, long-jump etc.).
Discussion
Esempio: "Be it ball sports or racing, winter sports or swimming, the race to gain that extra second or extra inch that is the difference between winning and losing is constantly being played out in a different arena – on computers." ( da: http://www.cd-adapco.com/industries/sports )
