I used to love track and field in high school. It's a sport that includes running, jumping, and even throwing!
It seems fun but so damn tiring!
They definitely are. The jumping and throwing events can be won by the athlete who reaches the highest distance or height. 
That's cool, I don't think I'd do that good haha.
It sounds intense, right?! There's also, of course, the foot racing events, which include sprinting, middle and long distance running, race walking and hurdling. They're won by those with the fastest time.
