Schedule Of Athletics Events

Athletics is one of the most popular Olympic events and one of the major highlights of London 2012 Olympic Games. This is also going to be the biggest single sports event with 2,000 athletes running, walking, jumping, and throwing for gold in 47 events. Athletics is the perfect expression of the Olympic motto 'Citius, Altius, Fortius' meaning 'Faster, Higher, and Stronger'. The event will be held in two venues - the track and the field, and combined events will be hosted in Olympic Stadium in the Olympic Park, and all the road events will be held in The Mall, beginning from Friday August 3 and culminating on August 11. There will be 510 adjustable hurdles used throughout the Athletics competition. Four main components form the athletics competition - track events like the 100 m field events including the high jump and the shot put, combined events such as the decathlon, which is a mix of track and field elements, and road events like the marathon.
