	Athletics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Athletics, also known, especially in American English, as track and field or track and field athletics, is a collection of sport events, which can roughly be divided into running, throwing, and jumping.
		Athletics was the original sport at the first Olympics back in 776 BC where the only event held was the stadium-length foot race or "stade".
		Athletics was included in the first modern Olympic Games in 1896 and has been part of the program ever since, providing the backbone of the Olympics.

	Woman
		In women, the sex organs are involved in the reproductive system, whereas the secondary sex characteristics are involved in attracting a mate or nurturing children.
		This is because males of all ages have a slightly higher death rate (even in the womb) and women live, on average, five years longer than men.
		In general, women suffer from the same illnesses as men, however there are some sex-related illnesses that are found more commonly or exclusively in women.

		Because of their intimate knowledge of plant life, most anthropologists argue that it was women who led the Neolithic Revolution and became history's first pioneers of agriculture.
		Eventually, restricting women from wage labor came to be a mark of wealth and prestige in a family, while the presence of working women came to mark a household as being lower-class.
		The women's movement is in part a struggle for the recognition of equality of opportunity with men, and for equal rights irrespective of sex, even if special relations and conditions are willingly incurred under the form of partnership involved in marriage.

		This article refers to the British English definition of Athletics that is limited in scope to sporting events that in American English are known as "Track and Field".
		Note : Two record distances are given for the men's javelin event ; this is because in the 1980s, the men's event was throwing at distances which caused many "flat landings" and judges at the event were having trouble discerning the exact point at which the javelin had landed and whether the throw was legal.
		In 1985, the specs of the javelin were changed by moving the centre of gravity forward by 4 cm.
