Track and Field Athletics


Track and Field Athletics is a collection of sports events that involve running, throwing, jumping and walking. Organised athletics are traced back to the Ancient Olympic Games from 776 BC, and most modern events are conducted by the member clubs of the International Association of Athletics Federations. The athletics meeting forms the backbone of the modern Summer Olympics, and other leading international meetings include the IAAF World Championships and World Indoor Championships.






This is an evolution of the Athletics

Swemming

The aquatic sport of swimming involves competition among participants to be the fastest over a given distance under self propulsion.
The different events include 25(8&U), 50, 100, 200, breaststroke, backstroke and butterfly, the 25(8&U), 50, 100, 200, 400, 500, 800, 1000, 1500, and 1650 free and the 100, 200, and 400 individual medley (IM, consisting of all strokes).

In the modern age the swimming competition was instituted in Great Britain at the end of the 18th century. The first organization of this type was the National Swimming Society, been founded on London in 1837.

Tennis

Tennis is a sport played between two players singles or between two teams of two players each doubles. Each player uses a strung racquet to strike a hollow rubber ball covered with felt over a net into the opponent's court.

The modern game of tennis originated in the United Kingdom in the late 19th century as "lawn tennis" which has heavy connections to various field/lawn games as well as to the ancient game of real tennis. After its creation, tennis spread throughout the upper-class English-speaking population before spreading around the world. Tennis is an Olympic sport and is played at all levels of society at all ages. The sport can be played by anyone who can hold a racket, including people in wheelchairs.

Now I will speak on different sports that existed in those times.
First I will speak on the basketball.

The Basketball.

Basketball is a team sport in which two teams of 5 players try to score points against one another, placing a ball through 3.048 m, in the goal under organized rules. Basketball is one of the most popular and widely viewed sports in the world. The best league were and is the NBA.

It is played by two teams of five persons, during 4 periods or quarters of 10 or 12 minutes each one.
On having finished the second quarter, a rest is realized, normally from 10 to 20 minutes according to the own regulation of the championship to which the game belongs.

The Olympic Games

The Olympic Games are a major international event of summer and winter sports, in which thousands of athletes compete in a wide variety of events. The Games are currently held every two years, with Summer and Winter Olympic Games alternating. Originally, the ancient Olympic Games were held in Olympia, Greece, from the 8th century BC to the 5th century AD. In the late 19th century, Baron Pierre de Coubertin was inspired by Olympic festivals to revive the Games. For this purpose, he founded the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 1894, and two years later, the modern Olympic Games were established in Athens. The IOC has since become the governing body of the Olympic Movement, whose structure and actions are defined by the Olympic Charter.
