The document provides information about various track and field events including sprints, middle-distance races, long-distance races, hurdles races, relay races, and field events such as long jump, high jump, and combined events. It discusses the history and evolution of the techniques and standards for many of these events over time.
Track and field history
Track and field originated in ancient Greece with the first recorded foot race in 776 BC. The marathon event was introduced in the 1896 Olympics in Athens at a distance of about 26 miles. Track and field developed in the United States in the 1860s and the first collegiate races were held in 1873. Jim Thorpe won gold medals in pentathlon and decathlon at the 1912 Olympics but had them stripped for violating amateur eligibility rules. Various track and field events have evolved from ancient traditions, with the shot put stemming from Scottish stone putting and pole vaulting potentially arising from helping warriors scale walls.
Athletics
Athletics refers to track and field events involving running, jumping, or throwing. The first Olympics in ancient Greece included athletics competitions. In the 19th century, athletics became more popular in Europe and the United States.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
