Track & Field

Running, jumping, and throwing are some of the earliest documented forms of human expression. From these basic skills, the first Olympic challenge—a single race spanning a mere 600 feet—came into existence and lasted for several years.

Since the inception of the modern Olympic Games in 1896, track and field events have served as the centerpiece. Hundreds of men and women compete against each other every four years, a tradition as old as the Games themselves.
