Athletics events are competitive sports that primarily involve running, jumping, and throwing. These events are often held in a track and field setting, where athletes compete in various disciplines such as sprints, long-distance races, hurdles, and relays. The goal is to achieve the best time, distance, or height, depending on the event. In addition to track races, athletics includes field events like long jump, high jump, and shot put. These events test different physical skills, such as speed, strength, and agility. Major competitions, like the Olympic Games and World Athletics Championships, showcase the talents of athletes from around the world.
