Field events are athletic competitions that take place outdoors, typically as part of track and field meets. These events include activities such as long jump, triple jump, high jump, and pole vault, where athletes aim to achieve the best distance or height. In addition to jumping events, field events also encompass throwing competitions like shot put, discus throw, javelin throw, and hammer throw. Athletes in these events use strength and technique to propel an object as far as possible. Field events are often held alongside running races, making track and field a diverse and exciting sport.
