Field events are a key part of track and field sports, involving various athletic competitions that take place in a field area rather than on a track. Here are three common types of field events:
1. Jumping Events: These include long jump, high jump, triple jump, and pole vault. Athletes aim to achieve the farthest or highest distance using techniques like running and leaping. 
2. Throwing Events: Examples are shot put, discus throw, javelin throw, and hammer throw. Participants throw objects as far as possible, requiring strength and precision.
3. Combined Events: This category involves multiple field events, such as the decathlon or heptathlon, where athletes compete in a series of jumps and throws to test overall ability. |
