I run track and field, do you?
I just run to work out I have never done it for sport,
It reqirs skills of running, jumping and throwing.
I can imagine, I know a lot of sports like that are difficult.
The name is derived for the sport's typical venue.
So they do track and field in the Olympics?
I am not sure but its considered an umbrella sport of athletics.
Well i suppose you need it to be good at other things so that might be why so many people do it.
