Athletics is the sport of competing in track and field events, including running races and various competitions in jumping and throwing. The simplicity of the competitions and the lack of expensive equipments needed make athletics one of the most commonly competed sports in the world.
All track events are time-based events, in which the fastest athlete/team is the winner. All field events are distance-based events, where the athlete/team that achieves the greatest horizontal or vertical distance is the winner.
