OLYMPIC CHALLENGE

the low-down
THE OLYMPICS ARE THE WORLDS BIGGEST SPORTING EVENT,
AND THERE ARE PLENTY OF RACES AND COMPETITIONS.
HERE SOME OF THE MAIN SPORTING EVENTS.
Track Events

Running events have always been

one of the most popular parts of
the Olympics. The track section
of the games has events ranging
from the 100-metre sprint to the 10,000-metre
long-distance run. Relays and hurdling are also
a feature of the track section.

Field Events

There is a wide range of events here.

The long jump is an event where the
winner jumps the longest distance.
The world record for the long jump,
which was set in 1968, remained unbroken for
23 years after African-American athlete Bob
Beaman jumped 8.9 metres. The high jump
was revolutionised during the 1968 Olympics
with the invention of the Fosbury Flop. This
was a technique with which the competitor
jumps over the bar while looking away from the
crossbar. This method wasnt possible before
as the landing area used to be a sandpit so the
invention of foam matting meant jumpers
could experiment with new techniques. So, as

the jumper didnt have to be as careful

when landing, the world records began
to rise dramatically.
The pole vault is a type of high jump.
However, theres a pole to raise the
athlete even higher. Other events include
the shot putt, which involves throwing a
heavy metal ball, and the javelin, which
involves throwing a spear.

Boxing

The world of professional boxing has always

had to fight accusations of being corrupt
and matches being fixed. But if you like
real boxing done well, the Olympics are the
place to be. Amateur boxing is much safer than
professional boxing as the competitors wear
head-guards and use padded boxing gloves.
The main country to watch out for here is Cuba,
where the game is totally amateur. Many boxers
from other countries have launched
successful professional careers after
competing in the Olympics including
Britains Amir Khan and Irishman
Wayne McCulloch.
