Track & Field is a sport that encompasses various events based on running, jumping, and throwing. Meets generally take place on an oval track, with field events taking place in designated areas adjacent to the track. The sport requires a combination of speed, strength, agility, and endurance, and athletes compete individually or as part of a team. Track and field is often regarded as the most universal of all sports, as it is practiced in nearly every country in the world and is a key feature of the Summer Olympic Games.
