What happens in athletics.

Athletics is a fun sports event. but what happens there? How many different sports things are there? Where is it held? Well if you are wondering all these questions you have come to the right place. Because this is what will be explained today.

Throwing: At athletics, there are different types of sports throwing ones running and jumping but this paragraph is focussing on the throwing sports. So the first sport to consider is discus so on discus you through a discuss as far as you can, and if you're wondering what is a discus it's like a frisbee just heavier much heavier. Shot put is the next throwing sport in this sport you throw a ball as small as a grapefruit with this sport you hold it by your shoulder and shoot it as far as possible and again this one is very heavy.

Jumping: For the jumping sports there is high jump and long jump lets start with high jump. For high jump it is set up like limbo a pole held up by two other poles, and the pole being held up can also move just like limbo but the pole moves up and not down. So back to the pint on the high jump, you jump over the pole with scissor legs and then you land on a big blue mat (don't worry it is very thock you won't sink down or anything) then the pole in the middle moves up and up till it cant or you can't anymore. The next jumping sport is long jump, for long jump, there is a pit of sand you stand back on a mark then you run as fast as you can jump right near the pit and land if you land on your butt and you hands land before your butt  you get marked on were your hands land.

Running: For running there is not much to say your run a 100metre run a 200metre run and a 400metre run. When you're running a 100-metre run you will go up against around 5-7 people there will be a person with a gun (that makes a loud noise and fires smoke up in the air), a whistle or just there voice to mark the start of the race. There will probably be a line to cross at the end and start of the race. It's basically the same as the other races. But when doing 200 and 100 metres you run straight and with 400metres you run in a circle a few times.

That is all that happens in athletics. Well more like sports that are at athletics because the other things are boring just bus rides there and things like that oh but you do if you bring money get super good food so, everyone will definitely want to come to athletics now. Athletics is really fun and` everyone would want to give it a shot it has got a lot of deferent sports in it to strengthen different parts of your body.
