Track-and-field
Track and field (or athletics in British English) is a sport that includes athletic contests based on running, jumping, and throwing skills.

Track and field is categorized under the umbrella sport of athletics, which also includes road running, cross country running and racewalking.

The foot racing events, which include sprints, middle- and long-distance events, racewalking, and hurdling, are won by the athlete who completes it in the least time. The jumping and throwing events are won by those who achieve the greatest distance or heigh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
