What are "field events"?
Field events are competitions in track and field where athletes compete in activities other than running races. These events involve throwing, jumping, or vaulting. Examples of field events include long jump, high jump, pole vault, shot put, discus throw, javelin throw, and hammer throw. Each of these events requires specific skills, such as strength, technique, speed, and coordination. In field events, the athlete’s goal is typically to achieve the greatest distance or height, or to clear a certain obstacle, with performance measured against a set standard or competition rules.
