TRACK & FIELD Individual Sports 2

HISTORY Track and field has roots in the animalistic nature of man, you could say. A subdivision of the sport, athletics, track and field is often said to have evolved from innate or natural human activity. Most events mimic predatory activities: Think spears, life-and-death chases, and assertions of dominance. Formalized track and field was first recorded at the Ancient Olympic Games of 776 BC in Olympia, Greece. The single event contested was a footrace of roughly 200 yards called the stade or stadion, from which we get the word “stadium.”

HISTORY The Ancient Olympics deeply seeded in Greek mythology, commanded extensive cultural significance. Wars halted for the Games. Qualifiers swore oaths before Zeus, their highest god that they had adequately prepared for competition. Poets wrote verse about each Olympic champion, and their deeds were chronicled for future generations. Eventually, though, the Games were abolished by early Christians in an effort to wipe out polytheism.

HISTORY The history of track and field mainly revolves around the Olympic Games. Also, there are many international events such as Common Wealth Games, Asian Games, etc that includes the different track and field events. The track and field events in the United States are reported to be started way back in 1860. As the time progressed, many new events were added. In 1913, the International Amateur Athletics Federation (IAAF), track and field’s first international governing body, was formed. Amateurism was firmly established as an Olympic ideal. That year, the winner of the first Olympic decathlon, American Jim Thorpe, was disqualified for having received $25 per week as a baseball player. It was only after 1913 track and field events were treated as a professional sport.
