TRACK AND FIELD 

Track and field is one of ____________________ (old) and ____________________ (popular) sports at the Summer Olympic Games. It’s also ____________________ (large) sport. The sport (also called “athletics”) debuted at the first Olympic Games in Athens, Greece, in 1896. What started as a handful of foot races has since expanded into 47 different events (24 men’s and 23 women’s events). 

Rules of the Game 

Olympic track and field competitors fully embrace the Olympic motto: faster, higher, stronger. They are among ____________________ (fast) runners, ____________________ (high) jumpers and ____________________ (strong) throwers in the world. 

Most running events take place on the track. These include sprints, mid-distance runs like the 1500-meter race, and longer runs. There are also hurdling events and the steeplechase, a long-distance race where runners must jump hurdles and leap over a pool of water. 

Out in the field, athletes defy gravity, launching themselves into the air for the long jump, high jump, triple jump and pole vault competitions. Others test their strength in the shot put, discus, hammer and javelin throws. 

Runners hit the road for the 26.2 mile-long marathon. Walking races also make tracks outside of the stadium. At the 2012 London Games, road events occurred on the streets of Central London, ending in The Mall, an iconic outdoor location near Buckingham Palace. 

The women's heptathlon and the men's decathlon are the ultimate tests of speed and strength. Over the course of two days, athletes participate in a series of events. Women compete in seven overall, while men compete in ten. The better the athlete performs at each event, the more points he or she earns. At the end of the two days, the athlete with the most points wins a gold medal.
