Track and Field is a sport that encompasses a variety of athletic events primarily involving running, jumping, and throwing. It is typically divided into two main categories: track events and field events. Track events include races of varying distances on a running track, such as sprints, middle-distance, and long-distance races, as well as relay races. Field events consist of disciplines like long jump, high jump, shot put, discus, javelin, and pole vault, where athletes compete in jumping and throwing skills. Track and field competitions are often held in a stadium and are governed by a set of rules established by organizations like World Athletics. The sport is known for its emphasis on individual athletic performance, though there are team components, particularly in relay races. Track and field has a long history, with roots in ancient athletic competitions, and remains a prominent feature in events like the Olympics.
