TRACK AND FIELD
TRACK AND FIELD
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.
CROSS COUNTRY
CROSS COUNTRY
Cross country is a sport that involves running races over natural terrain, typically through parks, forests, or other outdoor settings. Courses can vary in length and difficulty, and may include hills, mud, water crossings, and other obstacles. The sport requires a combination of endurance, speed, and technique, with runners needing to pace themselves over the course as they navigate the terrain. Cross country races may be run individually or as part of a team, with team scores based on the finishing positions of the team members. The sport is often seen as a test of mental and physical toughness, with runners pushing themselves to their limits over the challenging route.
