Track and field includes running, jumping, and throwing.
Throwing? I thought that was a different sport entirely? Do you know why it's included in the Track and Field section?
It's part of the field! The stadium has an oval running track that encloses a grass field for throwing and jumping.
Oops, I forgot about the field part. My school was never very interactive with throwing. Did you participate in any of these when you were in school?
Yes, I did shot put! The foot racing includes sprints as well as long distance racing.

Yes, they have separate lanes. The shot put is a ball you throw and are won by achieving the greatest distance.

Most track and field events are individual sports with a single victor; the most prominent team events are relay races, which typically feature teams of four. Events are almost exclusively divided by gender, although both the men's and women's competitions are usually held at the same venue. If a race has too many people to run all at once, preliminary heats will be run to narrow down the field of participants.
