Athletics Quiz :

Athletics is a collection of sporting events that involve running, jumping, throwing, and walking. It is one of the oldest forms of organized sport and traces its origins to ancient times, with early examples found in the Olympic Games of ancient Greece.

In athletics, events are usually divided into track and field. Track events include sprints, middle-distance, and long-distance races, hurdles, and relays. Field events focus on jumping (such as long jump, high jump, and pole vault) and throwing (like shot put, discus, javelin, and hammer throw).

Athletics promotes physical fitness, strength, and endurance. It is a sport that can be done individually or as part of a team, allowing athletes to challenge themselves against others or push their personal limits.

This sport is accessible to people of all ages and skill levels. It also plays a major role in international competitions such as the Olympics and World Championships. Athletics requires discipline and regular practice, as well as a focus on technique, speed, and strategy.

Many athletes start at a young age and gradually improve their performance over time. Whether for recreation or competition, athletics offers a way to improve overall health, stay active, and enjoy the spirit of sportsmanship.
