Athletics is competitive track and field
events consisting of running, throwing, and
jumping disciplines. Running events range
from sprint races such as the 100 metres and
hurdles to the marathon which is 26 miles in
length. Jumping events are the high jump,
long jump, and for men only, the triple jump
and pole vault. Throwing events are javelin,
discus, shot put, and for men only, the
hammer throw. The World Olympics are held
every four years (1988, 1992, 1996 and 2000).
