NOTE

ATHLETICS: TRACK AND FIELD

Athletics, often referred to as track and field, is a sport that encompasses various competitive events involving running, jumping, throwing, and walking. These events take place on an oval-shaped running track, and a grass field within the track, or in a multi-purpose indoor arena. The following are some common events in athletics:

Track events

  1. Sprinting (100m, 200m, 400m)
  2. Middle-distance running (800m, 1500m)
  3. Long-distance running (3000m, 5000m, 10000m)
  4. Hurdles (110m/100m hurdles, 400m hurdles)
  5. Relay races (4x100m, 4x400m)
  6. Steeplechase (3000m with hurdles and water jumps)

Field events

  1. High jump: Athletes attempt to clear a horizontal bar at increasing heights by leaping over it, landing on a cushioned mat.
  2. Long jump: Competitors sprint down a runway and launch themselves from a designated take-off board, attempting to cover as much distance as possible in the air before landing in a sandpit.
  3. Triple jump: Similar to long jump, but involving a series of three consecutive leaps: a hop, a step, and a jump, aiming to cover maximum distance in the sandpit.
  4. Pole vault: Competitors use a long, flexible pole to catapult themselves over a high horizontal bar, clearing great heights and landing on a cushioned mat below.
  5. Shot put: Athletes "put" (throw) a heavy spherical object, called a shot, from within a marked circle, aiming for maximum distance.
  6. Discus throw: Throwers launch a heavy disc-shaped object, called a discus, from within a marked circle, aiming for maximum distance.
  7. Hammer throw: Athletes swing a heavy metal ball attached to a wire and grip, called a hammer, within a circle, and then release it for maximum distance.
  8. Javelin throw: Competitors hurl a long, spear-like object, called a javelin, aiming for maximum distance within a designated landing sector.
