Athletics

Athletics is a sport that brings together running, jumping, throwing, and race walking events, testing speed, endurance, strength, technique, and coordination. It is one of the oldest and most fundamental forms of sporting competition, with roots in ancient festivals and a central place in the modern Olympic movement.

Athletics includes a wide range of disciplines, from short sprints and long-distance races to field events such as the high jump, long jump, shot put, and discus throw. Because of its variety, it is often seen as one of the purest expressions of all-around physical performance.
