What is Track?

Track events are races that test speed, endurance, and teamwork. They include sprints, middle-distance, long-distance, hurdles, and relays, all run on a 400m oval track. These events measure not only physical ability but also mental toughness, strategy, and discipline.

History in the Olympics

Running races have been a part of the modern Olympics since 1896, with women first competing in track events at the 1928 Amsterdam Games. Today, track events remain the centerpiece of the Summer Olympics.
