What are the field events?

In recent years, my country's sports industry has achieved brilliant results, especially in field events, where the achievements are booming. So what are the specific field events we are talking about? Some people may not know exactly what field events include. In fact, field events include many events, such as the well-known hurdles, shot put, 100-meter race, etc. These events are all part of field events. Now, let me give you some more details about the track and field events. Friends who are interested in this aspect can take a look.

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. 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 participants in the official distance events (throwing and long jump) exceeds 8, each person will first try to throw or jump 3 times, and then 8 best candidates will be selected. Each of them will try to throw (jump) 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 distance of the horizontal bar. Athletes can try to jump 3 times for each height. Athletes can choose the take-off height (not less than the prescribed height) and can request to "exempt" from any jump. 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. Violators will be deemed to have failed. If they continue to delay without reason, they will not be allowed to continue to participate 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 (for example, 60.23 is measured as 60.22 meters), while the minimum unit of measurement for other items is 1 cm.

Most of the track and field events are sports that require a lot of physical energy, so most of the people who practice these events are boys. Although track and field events consume a lot of physical energy, their effects are also very strong, and their role in strengthening the body is undeniable. Of course, before participating in field events, you should do adequate warm-up exercises to prevent injuries during the competition.
