Pe Script

1st Page (Trexie) - Athletics, also known as track and field or track and field
athletics, is a collection of sports events that involve running, throwing, and
jumping. The name is derived from the Greek word "athlon" meaning "contest".
2nd page (Equia) - Track and field is one of the oldest of sports. Athletic contests
were often held in conjunction with religious festivals, as with the Olympic Games
of ancient Greece. It painfully started as an only men's sport but as the games grew
more popular, it later opened to all types of players.
3rd page (Trexie) – So, track and field consist of different branches or events as
they call it. For now, we focus on the Running Events
4th page (Kenny) – types of sprint
5th page (Garcia) - Runners must remain in their assigned lane for the entire race. If
a runner crosses into another runner's lane and is caught, officials will disqualify
him from the race. Runners may not obstruct other runners' paths with any parts of
their bodies.
Runners wear special shoes with short spikes that must not exceed 9mm (.35
inches). At the start of the race, runners crouch and place their feet on devices
known as starter blocks. Once in the ready position, runners must keep their feet on
the blocks until the starter's gun goes off.
6th page (Patigdas) - sprints begin when the starter fires a starter pistol that sets off
the automatic timers. If a runner starts before the pistol, it is a false start and the
race is halted and re-started. As of 2009 runners are still allowed a warning "false
start." Upon the second false start, a runner is disqualified. False starts are
measured by apparatuses in the runner's starting blocks. If pressure is released from
the blocks too early, a false start is charged.
7th Page (Santander) - Time is kept with automatic scoring clocks. A runner
finishes the race only after his trunk crosses the finish line. For this reason, 100M
sprinters often lean forward at the finish of the race. To ensure the most accurate
placings, a digital line-scan camera will remain focused on the finish line. Linked
to the overall timing system, these cameras are highly accurate and can
differentiate between thousandths of seconds.
