#Throwing

Imagine a sport where the shortest contest is over in less than 10 seconds, but the longest takes over two hours. Picture an arena where athletes might need the explosive power of a rocket to throw a heavy metal ball, the delicate grace of a dancer to clear a high bar, or the tireless endurance of a migrating bird to run a marathon. This isn’t a collection of different sports; it’s all part of one: Athletics, also known as Track and Field. It’s the heart and soul of the Olympic Games, testing the absolute limits of human ability. In this guide, we’ll sprint through the basics, jump over the rules, and throw ourselves into what makes Athletics the most diverse and thrilling competition on the planet.
