Information on Olympic track and field events, including qualifying criteria and opportunities and, results of past Olympic track and field competitions.
The roots of track and field, or athletics, may be traced back to the first ancient Olympic Games, held in 776 B.C. in the valley of Olympia on the southwestern coast of the Greek peninsula.
The U.S. Olympic Trials are held every four years to select the teams that will represent the United States in that year's Olympic Games. The marathon trials are traditionally a separate event from the track and field trials.
Hometown hero Ashton Eaton set his first world record in the decathlon during the U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials at Hayward Field in 2012, electrifying a sold-out crowd. Who knows what the Oregon graduate will do next summer when the 2016 Olympic Trials return to Eugene, but we now know when he'll compete.
