Athletic sports are sports where individuals compete in competitions involving running, throwing objects, jumping, and walking. In races, participants race (running or walking, sometimes with hurdles that must be cleared) to be the first to finish a set distance. Jumping competitions can be unaided or with a pole, with the winner having the highest jump. Other events involve throwing a variety of objects, including a discus or javelin. Some events are a combination of some of these, including the heptathlon and decathlon.
