What are field events?

Middle school students all know that their schools will hold sports meets, which are generally divided into spring sports meets and autumn sports meets, and there are countless events in the sports meets. Students often only know what their project is, but they don’t know what category this project belongs to. Today, I will introduce to you that sports meets are divided into track and field events and competitions. So, what are track and field events?

Field events are a type of track and field sports, which is a general term for jumping and throwing competitions held in the designated area of ​​the track and field stadium. They are divided into jumping and throwing. The jumping events include: high jump, long jump, triple jump, pole vault; the throwing events include: shot put, discus, javelin, hammer throw, etc. The results are calculated based on height or distance to determine the ranking.

Competition Introduction

Field events are a type of track and field sports, a general term for jumping and throwing competitions held within the designated area of ​​a track and field stadium. They are divided into jumping and throwing. The jumping events include high jump, long jump, triple jump, pole vault; the throwing events include shot put, discus, javelin, hammer throw, etc. The results are calculated based on height or distance to determine the ranking. In the various track and field events, if there are too many participants, a qualifying competition can be held first, and those who meet the qualifying standards can participate in the official competition. When the number of official competitors for distance events (throwing and long jump) exceeds 8, each person will first try throwing or jumping 3 times, and then 8 best candidates will be selected. Each of them will try throwing (jumping) 3 more times, and the best result among the 6 times will be used as the competition result and the ranking will be based on this. In the official competition of height event (high jump), the referee will first announce the plan of take-off height and the raising range of the horizontal bar. Athletes can try to jump for 3 times for each height. Athletes can choose the take-off height (not less than the prescribed height) and can request to "exempt from jumping" for any height. If you fail three times in a row during the trial jump, you can no longer continue the competition. The highest score of the trial jump will be the individual's competition score and the ranking will be based on it. For all field events, athletes must complete the trial throw or trial jump within the specified time. Failure to do so will be considered a failure. If the athlete continues to delay without reason, he or she will not be allowed to continue participating in the competition (previous results will remain valid). When measuring distance or height, the minimum unit of measurement for discus, javelin and hammer is 2 cm (e.g. 60.23 m is measured as 60.22 m), while the minimum unit of measurement for other items is 1 cm.

Project Content

Field events can be divided into two categories: jumping and throwing.

Race walking can be carried out in or outside the stadium;

I believe that through the editor’s introduction, all students will have some understanding of the sports meeting. Next time you feel dizzy at a meeting, when the teacher talks about track and field events, everyone will be able to tell the difference clearly. But the editor here reminds everyone that at sports events, you must pay attention to pre-game exercises to prevent muscle strain.
