Athletics,
also known as track and field or track and field athletics, is
a collection of
sports events
that involve
running,
throwing and
jumping. The
name is derived from the
Greek word "athlon"
meaning "contest".Some languages (e.g., German and Russian) refer to these
sports as "light athletics" to distinguish them from "heavy
athletics," like weight lifting, wrestling, etc.
