Track and Field

Track and Field is a collection of athletic events that take place on a track and in a field. It primarily includes running, jumping, and throwing competitions. The “track” part typically involves various distances and styles of races, such as sprints, middle-distance, and long-distance events, as well as hurdles and relays. The “field” component comprises events like long jump, triple jump, high jump, pole vault, shot put, discus throw, javelin throw, and hammer throw. Track and Field is often held in a stadium setting, where athletes compete individually or as part of teams, and it is a key component of many multi-sport events, including the Olympics. The sport emphasizes speed, strength, agility, and endurance, making it a comprehensive test of athletic abilities.
