Athletics is a group of sporting events that involves competitive running, jumping and throwing. The most common types of athletics competitions are track and field, road running, cross country running, cross-country running, and racewalking.

In Christian belief, a saint is a person who is recognized as having an exceptional degree of holiness, likeness, or closeness to God.
