Track & Field

Track and field is a sport based around the activities of running, jumping and throwing.

The running events are categorised as sprints, middle and long-distance events, relays, and hurdling.

Jumping events include long jump, triple jump, high jump and pole vault.

 Throwing events include shot put, javelin, discus and hammer.

There are also "combined events" heptathlon and decathlon.
There are sprint hurdle races and long hurdle races. The standard sprint hurdle race is 110 meters for men and 100 meters for women. The standard long hurdle race is 400 meters for both men and women. Each of these races is run over ten hurdles and they are all Olympic events.I've done track and field for two years and my favourite event is the hurdles.
