Field

What is Field?

Field events test explosive strength, agility, and precision. They include jumps (long, triple, high, pole vault) and throws (shot put, discus, javelin, hammer). Unlike races on the track, these events demand a unique blend of power, technique, and mental focus

History in the Olympics

Field events have been contested since the first modern Olympics in 1896, and women began competing in field disciplines at the 1928 Amsterdam Games. Today, they remain a key part of the Olympic athletics program.

Types of Events

Jumping: Long jump, triple jump, high jump, pole vault

Throwing: Shot put, discus, javelin, hammer throw

Combined Events: Heptathlon (women),

Field at Empower Sports Academy

Even though field events vary widely, they share a focus on strength, explosive movement, and technique. At Empower, athletes will train across jumping and throwing disciplines with expert coaches, developing both sport-specific skills and transferable athletic abilities.

Empower Facilities

Our campus will feature:

A shared sand pit for long jump and triple jump

Pole vault and high jump setups with professional equipment

Dedicated throwing areas for shot put, discus, javelin, and hammer throw

Integrated performance tools to analyze strength, technique, and progress

Pathway to University & Beyond

Colleges and universities actively recruit jumpers and throwers for their track & field teams. Elite programs such as Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Stanford, and Oregon offer scholarships for field athletes. Empower graduates will be positioned to earn these opportunities and to represent Pakistan in global competitions, including the Olympics.
