The Background of Athletics
TRACK AND FIELD ATHLETICS
- commonly known as athletics or track
and field, is a collection of sports
events that involve running, throwing
and jumping.
- The name "athletics" is derived from
the Greek word "athlos" meaning
"contest"
The Background of Athletics
Dating back to the Ancient Greeks,
athletics was the only competition to be
held in the first Olympic Games which
took place in Athens in 776 BC. At that
time, the single athletic event was known
as the stade, a foot race which covered
the length of the Athenian Olympic
stadium.
The Background of Athletics
In 1896, the first modern Olympic Games were
staged. Although initially of limited appeal, the
Olympics captured the imagination of athletes
and grew steadily, making track and field an
international sport for the first time.
The Background of Athletics
In 1913, the International Amateur
Athletic Federation (IAAF) was formed
by representatives from 16 countries. The
IAAF was charged with establishing
standard rules for the sport, approving
world records, and ensuring that the
amateur code was adhered to; it continues
to carry out these duties today.
TRACK EVENTS

varying measurements. These events are
typically held in a 400-meter track. These

pelvis is in the most efficient
position. Your head should be

yards ahead.
