Track and Field
Imagine what it is like at the Olympic Games, or at the Paralympics. The seats in the stadium are full. Bang! The athletes are racing. The crowd cheers as the winner crosses the line. Many highly-skilled athletes compete in different events: this is Track and Field, an ancient sport. The first track and field events at a sports festival took place thousands of years ago at Olympia in Greece.
