Athetics

History


Athletics is the oldest organized sport. Launched in Greece, the first reference we found was in 776 BC, although it is assumed thatalready existed. For many years, the major athletic event of the stadium was proof (called stadion), which was to cover the distancebetween 190 and 200 m could depending on the length of the stadium and separating the two rows of marble which were markeddeparture and arrival. That first race was won by Korebos of Elis.Years later he added the 'diaulos' competition round the stadium.


Equipment


The typical dress of an athlete consists of a jersey, shorts and racing shoes. Those used by a sprinter not have heel or arch, and have 11crampons which should not exceed 9 mm in length.


Best athletes in history
Men
Among the sprinters, American Carl Lewis is undoubtedly the athele tha has marked the breadth od his archievements. With his nine Olympic titles (including four in long jump) and eight world championships, has maintained his dominance for almost two decades.
Actually the best sprinter is Usain Bolt and in the resistant the best one actually is Kenenisa Bekele.


Women
Today, women's athletics is mainly dominated by four ahtletes: Sweden's Carolina Fluft in the heptathlon who has not tasted defeatin a major championship, the Russian pole vaulter Yelena Isinbayeva following the footsteps of Sergei Budka. Moreover, the Ethiopian Tirunesh and Meseret Defar.


My favourite Athlete


My favourite ahtlete actually is Chema Martínez. He is one of the best long-distance runner in Spain ever. In his resume include the two medals won in 10000 meters at theEuropean Championships 2002 (gold) and 2006 (silver) held inMunich and Gothenburg respectively. I saw him run three times in the Cross of Italica in 2009, 2010 and 2011.
