Athletic contests in running, walking, jumping and throwing are
among the oldest of all sports and their roots are prehistoric.
Athletics events were depicted in the Ancient Egyptian tombs in
Saqqara, with illustrations of running at the Heb Sed festival and
high jumping appearing in tombs from as early as 2250 BC. The
original and only event at the first Olympics in 776 BC was the
stadion, a stadium-length running event. The turn of the century
was a time of renewed interest in the sport, with the foundation of
the Amateur Athletics Association in 1880, the first modern Summer
Olympics in 1896 and the International Amateur Athletics Federation
in 1912. In this classic guide, Montague Shearman traces the
evolution of athletics and shares his expertise in training and
discipline.
