A popular sport that includes a variety of sports is track and field. Track and field exercises take place in an open field environment or on a running track. Running exercises are the main component of track events; they can be as little as a mile in length or as long as a whole 26-mile marathon.
Throwing events and strength training are the main focus of field events. The heptathlon and the decathlon, which have seven and ten events respectively, are products of combining numerous track and field competitions.
The event's outcomes decided who prepared to play for the United States at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024. A spot on the Olympic team was awarded to the top three athletes in each event, provided they had met the Olympic standard or were within the World Athletics ranking quota.

Olympics 2024 Athletics Qualification
A maximum of one qualified relay team and three qualified competitors per individual event, provided all participants achieve the qualifying standard, may be entered by a National Olympic Committee (NOC) in each event.
The highest-ranked male and female athlete may compete in the 100, 800, or marathon individual races on behalf of any NOC that does not have a qualified athlete or relay team. This is allowed under the Universality rule.
The Paris 2024 qualification system follows a similar pattern to the 2020 edition: athletes will be awarded half of the total quota (roughly fifty per cent) based on entry standards approved by the World Athletics Council, with the remaining portion based on the world ranking list during the qualifying period.
The marathon races have a qualification period from November 1, 2022, to April 30, 2024; the 10,000 meters, combined events (heptathlon and decathlon), race walks, and relays have a qualification period from December 31, 2022, to June 30, 2024; and the remaining track and field events have an annual qualification period from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024.
Track and Field Olympics 2024 tickets
Recently, Paris 2024 and its stakeholders have been informed about efforts at public-facing frauds. Those or groups posing as Paris 2024 claim to offer free tickets for the Opening Ceremony of the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games in exchange for the payment of shipping costs, working in connection with the French National Olympic and Sports Committee.
We want to remind you that paper tickets are unavailable for the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris in 2024. If you have even the smallest concern about the identity of an email's sender, we advise you to exercise great care and not share any personal or bank information. If you are concerned about the validity of the communication you received from Paris 2024 about purchasing tickets for the Games.
