Athletics is one of the main and most popular sports, combining walking and running at various distances, long and high jumping, discus throwing, javelin, hammer, grenade throws (shot put), as well as all-around athletics - decathlon, pentathlon, etc. In modern sports classification there are over 60 varieties of athletics exercises.

In the program of the modern Olympic Games, athletics is represented by 24 numbers for men and 14 for women. Track and field competitions are included in the programs of the largest continental sports: European Championships, African, Asian, Balkan, British, Pan American Games, etc.

Athletics is based on natural human movements. Athletics promotes a comprehensive physical development, improving people's health. The popularity and mass character of athletics are explained by the general availability and wide variety of athletics exercises, the simplicity of the technique, the ability to vary the load and conduct classes at any time of the year, not only on sports grounds, but also in vivo.

Already primitive man was familiar with running, jumping and throwing - exercises that form the foundation of modern athletics.

Of course, at that time there could be no talk of sports in its modern sense. He was born much later. Ancient Greece can be considered the birthplace of sports.

The program of these competitions was mainly athletics.

The games program presented:

Running on short distance in one stage (192.27 m), from 724 BC added distance running in 2 stages (384.54 m).

In 720 BC. was introduced long distance- a circle with a length of stadiums (stadium) had to be run 24 times (4614 m).

From 708 BC - pentathlon (pentathlon): jumping, running, discus throwing, javelin (dart) throwing, wrestling;

From 688 BC - fist fight;

From 680 BC - competitions in chariots drawn by four horses; in the middle of the 7th century BC pankraty was added - a wrestling in which any techniques were allowed.

In 632 BC. admitted young people to competitions in running, wrestling, fist fighting. Subsequently - races of warriors in full armor on chariots with a pair of horses, horse races on foals.

The winners of the competition were then honored very pompously. They were crowned with olive wreaths, the branches for which were cut with a special golden knife from old sacred trees. When the champions returned home, they were greeted by crowds of joyful compatriots. Poets composed hymns of praise in honor of the victors. The names of the champions were carved on stone slabs, and some of them even had monuments. It is thanks to this that their names have come down to us.

Revival of the Olympic Games

With the onset of the Renaissance, reviving interest in art Ancient Greece, remembered about the Olympic Games. At the beginning of the 19th century. Sport has received universal recognition in Europe and there has been a desire to organize something like the Olympic Games. Local games organized in Greece in 1859, 1870, 1875 and 1879 left some mark on history. Although they did not give tangible practical results in the development of the international Olympic movement, they served as an impetus for the formation of the Olympic Games of our time, which owe their revival to the French public figure, teacher, historian Pierre de Coubertin. The growth of economic and cultural communication between states, which arose at the end of the 18th century, the emergence modern species transport, paved the way for the resurgence of the Olympic Games on an international scale. That is why Pierre de Coubertin's appeal: "We need to make sport international, we need to revive the Olympic Games!", Found a proper response in many countries.

June 23, 1894 in Paris in Great Hall The Sorbonne has convened a commission to revive the Olympic Games. Pierre de Coubertin became its general secretary. Then the International Olympic Committee- The IOC, which includes the most authoritative and independent citizens of different countries.

By the decision of the IOC, the games of the first Olympiad were held in April 1896 in the capital of Greece at the Panathenian stadium.

The development of modern athletics began in the 30-40s. 19th century ; in the 80-90s. amateur clubs, leagues, etc. were organized in many countries,

The development of modern athletics is closely related to the Olympic movement. Suffice it to say that the Olympic Games in Athens in 1896 became the first official international athletics competition. Since then, she has firmly taken the leading place in the program of all the Olympic Games.

In Russia in 1888 the first sports Club in Tyarlev, near St. Petersburg. The widespread development of modern athletics is associated with the revival of the Olympic Games (1896) as the largest international competitions; national athletics championships began to be played out (in Russia in 1908-16 annually). In 1911, the All-Russian Union of Athletics Amateurs was founded, which united about 20 sports leagues in St. Petersburg, Moscow, Kiev, and others;

In 1912, Russian. athletes participated in the Olympic Games for the first time. In 1912, the International Amateur Athletics Federation (IAAF) was created - the governing body for development of easy athletics and international competitions.

The first competition of owls. athletes took place in 1918 in Petrograd, in 1920 - Olympiads, in the program of which the main place was occupied by athletics: Siberian (Omsk), Priuralskaya (Yekaterinburg), Central Asian (Tashkent), North Caucasian (Mineralnye Vody).

In 1922 the championship of the RSFSR in track and field athletics (Moscow) took place, in 1923 - the first international meeting (with track and field athletes of Finland), in 1928 - the first all-Union sports day.

In the 30s. scientific and methodological foundations began to be created modern system training of athletes. With the introduction in 1931 of the "Ready for Labor and Defense of the USSR" (TRP) complex, athletics became one of the most popular sports.

Since 1946 Sov. track and field athletes participate in the European Championships (held since 1934 in the even years between the Olympic Games), since 1952 - in the Olympic Games. Since 1958, athletics matches have been regularly held between athletes from the USSR and other countries (USA, East Germany, France, Great Britain, Italy, Poland, and Czechoslovakia).

The success of the revival of the Olympic Games was confirmed by the public and the press of many countries, who welcomed the initiative with approval.

Some types of complex athletics competitions

Conclusion.

Over the centuries, the Olympic movement has overcome many obstacles, oblivion and alienation. But in spite of everything, the Olympic Games are still alive today.

These days, the Olympics are one of the largest events in the world. The games are equipped with the latest technology - computers and television cameras monitor the results, the time is determined with an accuracy of thousandths of a second, athletes and their results largely depend on technical equipment.

Per last years the Olympic movement has acquired enormous proportions, and the capitals of the Games become the capitals of the world at the time of their holding. Sport plays an increasing role in people's lives.

RIO-2016 Athletics

At the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, 47 sets of awards will be played - 24 for men and 23 for women. The participation of our athletes in these competitions is still questionable, since the All-Russian federation of light Athletics (VFLA) due to violation anti-doping rules temporarily suspended from membership of the International Association of Athletics (IAAF).

The initial lists of candidates for participation in the Games included the following St. Petersburg athletes: Lyukman Adams, Alexey Dmitrik, Sergey Kucheryanu, Valentin Smirnov, Alexey Kharitonov, Dmitry Chizhikov, Ivan Shablyuev, Natalia Antyukh, Ekaterina Galitskaya, Elizaveta Demirova (Savlinis), Ksenia Zadorina, Yulia Kondakova, Victoria Prokopenko (Dolgacheva), Irina Reshetkina, Victoria Sudarushkina, Olga Kharitonova, Anastasia Savchenko, Elena Chernyaeva.

The very first champion

On April 6, 1896, the American track and field athlete James Connolly became the first winner of the modern Olympic Games. At the Panathenaeus (also called the Marble) stadium in Athens, the 27-year-old Boston-based athlete excelled in the triple jump (13.71 meters), beating six rivals from four countries. Moreover, the second prize-winner - Alexander Tuffer, representing France, was almost a meter behind. Connolly jumped in the so-called Irish style - jump, leap, jump (later another technique took root - jump, step, jump). The triple jumpers' competition took place after the preliminary races of the 100m runners, it was the first final of the day, so that its winner was the first Olympic champion in modern history... After the last ancient Olympics, a millennium and a half passed, the countdown of new Olympians began, and Connolly became the very first of them.

Born in Boston in 1868, he was one of twelve children to an Irish immigrant family. He was fond of athletics and cycling, played American football. He went to the Games in Athens as a student at Harvard, where he entered, already having several years of work experience in an engineering position. He was denied academic leave, and James applied for exclusion - his priority at that time was to participate in the revived Olympic Games. A large group of US athletes, including Connolly, arrived in Europe, in Naples, Italy, on a German dry cargo ship, and then reached Athens by train. The champion entered into a dispute over awards in other jumping disciplines. On April 7, he became the third in the long jump (6.11 m), on April 10 he shared with his compatriot Robert Garrett the 2nd - 3rd places in the high jump (1.65 m). James also competed at the 1900 Games in Paris and won the silver medal in the triple jump. At the 1904 Olympic Games in St. Louis, America, Connolly was already working as a journalist. By that time he had published several of his works, later famous athlete became a writer, author of 25 novels and two hundred stories, mainly on the marine theme.

More than fifty years after his expulsion from Harvard University, he was invited to speak there in front of students and teachers and, as one of the celebrities of this educational institution, was presented with a personalized sports sweater. A year later, in 1949, he was offered an honorary doctorate from Harvard as a writer, but he turned it down. James Brendan Connolly died in January 1957 in Brooklyn, a suburb of Boston, he was 89 years old. Thirty years later, in one of the parks in Boston, a monument to the first champion was unveiled - Connolly is depicted at the time of landing after a jump.

Victory disc

At the Games in Helsinki in 1952, the first gold medal was won Olympic medal Soviet athletes. On July 20, all the prizes in the discus throwers' competition were taken by the representatives of our country, and Nina Romashkova (later Ponomareva) became the champion.

20 participants from 16 countries took part in the discourse dispute. The qualification standard - 36 meters - was fulfilled by 18 athletes who made it to the final. The 23-year-old Muscovite Nina Romashkova was in the lead with the result of 45.05 m. In the first final attempt, she threw the projectile 11 cm further and was second only to her older teammate Nina Dumbadze. In the second attempt, Romashkova's disk flew over 50 meters, and this line, except for her, in Helsinki did not submit to anyone. The third attempt brought the champion result - 51.42 m. In the remaining three exits to the throwing circle, when the top six competed, the results of all athletes did not exceed the 50-meter mark. At the same time, Romashkova was ahead of her rivals in each of these attempts.

Olympic champion was born in April 1929 in Sverdlovsk region- Repressed parents worked in a taiga village, serving time. Since 1936, the family settled in a village near Yessentuki, in the Stavropol Territory, Nina and began to seriously engage in athletics. Since 1949, she represented the Central sport Club Army (Moscow), after her success in Helsinki in 1956, she became the bronze medalist of the Olympic Games in discus throwing, in 1960 in Rome she won her second highest Olympic award.

Upon completion sports career Nina Apollonovna Ponomareva worked as a trainer in a Kiev school for thirty years Olympic reserve, since 1998 she has been living in Moscow again.

The core beyond the cherished line

Following Nina Romashkova-Ponomareva, Galina Zybina won the gold medal at the 1952 Games in Helsinki. July 26 at Olympic stadium she won the shot put with a world record of 15.28 m. 21-year-old athlete, representative of the Zenit society (Leningrad), student of the famous coach Viktor Alekseev, became the first Olympic champion among the athletes of the city on the Neva in athletics.

Two days before that, Zybina took part in the javelin throwing competition, taking fourth place. And in the struggle of the shot putters she performed brilliantly. She fulfilled the qualification norm without taking off her tracksuit. In the second half of the day, in the final part, in the first attempt, she pushed the shell exactly 15 meters and seized the lead. Zybin could even refuse the last, sixth, throw, no one could get ahead of her. But it was in this attempt that the Leningrad athlete set a world record. She was given gold medal, and immediately from the podium, she went to the microphone of radio commentator Vadim Sinyavsky and said hello hometown, in which she was born and survived the hardships of the blockade.

Galina Ivanovna Zybina joined the Olympic medals at the subsequent Games. In shot put, she won silver in 1956 and bronze in 1964. Honored Veteran, the author of the book "The Cherished Trait" and now does not stand aside from the significant sporting events in our city, was a torchbearer at the Olympic torch relay.

100m, men. Final on August 15. Unlike the women's sprint, here everything revolves around two athletes, the current record holder for 100 and 200 meters, Usain Bolt, and the leader for three last seasons Justin Gatlin. Bolt has already managed to declare that this Olympics will be the last for him and for sure he will make every effort to leave undefeated, the same can be said about Justin Gatlin, who is already 34 years old, that these Olympic Games will be the last for him, if not for participation, then for that would finally overtake Bolt for sure.

“First, you can applaud louder,” said Bolt, appearing at a press conference. - Yes, these are mine recent Games... I did my best and proved everything. A lot of people won't be happy about that. "

“Hundred meters are not a problem for me. I would like to set a world record at 200 meters. I've always wanted this. It should be something like 19 seconds. "

Usain Bolt won six gold medals at the Olympics.
Bolt is also an 11-time world champion.

It is likely that Bolt is trying to put pressure on Gatlin with such statements, since at last year's World Cup he managed to beat Justin by only 0.01 seconds, or maybe even less, but the official results read as follows: Usain Bolt 9.79, Justin Gatlin 9.80 ... By the way, in the semifinals then Gatlin ran for 9.77.

Answering the question at what distance Bolt can lose, the American replied that most likely this will happen at the hundred-meter race.

“He does not own best time in the season. V recent times not everything is going smoothly with him. But, on the other hand, it is not worth making early statements. He's not the kind of guy to be discounted. "

If Usain Bolt gets a lot of attention in Rio, he can afford to relax trying to dance samba with Brazilian women, then Justin is trying to pester him with talk about doping. G lava International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) Sebastian Coe announced his desire for American sprinter Justin Gatlin to be disqualified for life and the Olympics in Rio to be his last. Coe made similar statements after the 2015 World Cup, to which Gatlin replied that he had set himself the goal of winning every competition where Coe was present in order to look him in the eye and shake his hand.

34-year-old American sprinter Justin Gatlin, last Olympic champion 100 meters before the start of the "Usain Bolt era", is not nervous on the eve of the duel with the Jamaican athlete at the 2016 Olympics.

“I’ll just go out on the track and do what I have to - run, have fun, make my way first to the finals, and then to the top of the podium.

I don’t think that this could be our last battles with Usain. The Olympics are in any case a special event, where everyone is trying to jump over their heads. I just have to be ready to do it. "

By the way, Justin is the leader of the season with a result of 9.80, while Bolt this season has the best result of 9.88, but as you know, before the last World Championship, the Jamaican sprinter had a result of 9.87, and Gatlin's 9.74.

As for the rest of the participants, it is worth paying attention to the bronze medalist of the 2015 World Cup American Trayvon Bromell, who is 13 years younger than Gatlin. It is also worth noting that in June he suffered a sprain of the Achilles tendon, but in July at the competition in Eugene he set the second result of the season at 9.84. The 21-year-old Bromell ran out of 10 seconds for the first time in 2014 (9.97), and in 2015 set the junior world record of 9.84 - 10 in history. Then he received recognition among eminent athletes.

Frenchman Jimmy Vico has the third result of the season 9.86. 2012 Olympic silver medalist and 2011 World Cup gold medalist Johan Blake won the Olympic sprint selection in Jamaica, but failed to run out of 9.9 this season, his best result of the season being 9.94.

Usain Bolt is the clear favorite, but play his win with CF. I would not do 1.5 per 100m, remembering how difficult it was for him to win at the last year's World Championship. It looks much more preferable to win Bromell in comparison with Blake, or that the American will be among the prize-winners.

A sport that shows strength, agility and general fitness, which often does not require special equipment, but which does not become less difficult from this, is athletics. Track and field traditionally has a wide variety of disciplines. In total, 47 sets of medals will be played in the competition, 24 of which are in men's nominations, and 23 in women's. Athletics is the sport with the highest number of medals in the Olympics.

Athletics Games Participants

About two thousand athletes from almost all countries of the world will come to the Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 to compete in athletics disciplines. In each discipline from one country, no more than three participants can be represented. If it comes about a relay team, then no more than one team.

Unfortunately, due to the doping scandal, the admission Russian athletes involved in athletics is questionable. The most likely outcome: the Russian Summer Olympics participants will not be able to compete.

The selection is based on the compliance of the athletes' performance with the established standards. Qualifying events include all Olympic disciplines.

Almost every day in athletics, the finals of competitions in one or more disciplines are held.
