Athletics
Since the simple foot races, jumping, discus and javelin events that marked the early
Games in Greece, the basic tests of speed and strength have remained a key element of
the modern Olympics.
Athletics was an integral part of the first Athens Games in 1896, with medals awarded for
the 100m, 1,500m, 110m hurdles, marathon, long jump, triple jump, pole vault, discus,
shot put and high jump.
The International Amateur Athletic Federation was founded in 1912 by 17 national athletic
federations.
At the 1924 Olympic Games in Paris, women's events - 100m, 800m, 4x100m, high jump,
and discus - were included on the programme for the first time.
The USA won nine of the 11 gold medals on offer in the 1896 Games and they remain the
powerhouse nation of the sport.
Jesse Owens was the first real star of the track, becoming a legendary figure following his
four gold medals and six world records at the 1936 Berlin Games.
The African-American's achievements were all the more telling as they took place in front
of Adolf Hitler.
With the demands of training and competing pushed to a new level, the IAAF - which had
abandoned the traditional concept of amateurism in 1982 - allowed trust funds for athletes
in 1985.
In 1997 the IAAF offered prize money to successful athletes for the first time in the history
of its competitions.
The other topic that has dogged athletics, as it has so many sports in recent years, is
drugs.
It was at the 1988 Seoul Olympics that the issue hit the headlines around the world as
Canada's Ben Johnson left Lewis trailing with a stunning time of 9.79secs in the 100m

final, before failing a drugs test.


There have been plenty more high-profile track and field stars to test positive in the
intervening years, but so far athletics has been able to retain its position as the focal point
of the Olympic Games.
