The shoes and clothing worn at the games are designed to help the people wearing them run, swim, jump, or play better. The color is just what was used by the company who made them. There is no reason they are one certain color.

One African American male who holds a T&F world record is Michael Johnson in the 400m dash.

Yesterday I ran one mile in thirty minutes. Other than people who are disabled, it is my belief that is the slowest mile ever run. This speed is equivalent to three feet per second. A speed slower than this would be considered walking.

Track Size for Outdoor Track The standard running track size for outdoor track is 400 meters. This length is also approximately a quarter of a mile. The track is in an oval shape. Today, tracks have a rubber surface; whereas, older tracks are usually cinder covered. The inner field of the track usually has natural grass or an artificial surface. The inner field can be used for field events. Often, the inner field is also used as a football or soccer field. You can find outdoor tracks all over. From colleges to high schools, to professional sport fields, outdoor tracks can be found. The number of lanes in an outdoor track depends on what level the track is used for. Outdoor tracks at smaller high schools may have six lanes; whereas, tracks used at the Olympics and other high level track events often have nine lanes. Track Size for Indoor Track The standard running track size for indoor track is 200 meters, half the size of an outdoor track. However, although the standard size is 200 meters, some indoor tracks are 150 meters and others are 120 meters. Additionally, some indoor track meets will take place on tracks over 200 meters, however, because the track size is more than 200 meters, no official records can be set on these larger indoor tracks. In indoor track meets, the field events only include high jump, long jump, pole vault, triple jump, and shot put. These events will take place within the circumference of the track. The longest running event that takes place on an indoor track is 5,000 meters. The 3,000 meter race is also commonly run at the collegiate level.

he realized he's the fastest man alive and owed it to the human race to spread his genes

Throwing Events: Javelin, Discus, Hammer, Shot Put Jumping Events: High Jump, Long Jump, Triple Jump Assisted Jumping Events: Pole Vault Note: Track events that utilize jumping would be hurdles races (100 m, 110 m, 400 m) and the steeplechase.

Steeplechase

That is correct.

Track events are won by who can run the fastest (timing) and field events are won by who can throw the furthest or jump the furthest/highest (distance/height).

When you look at previous jumps and take the next longest jump of each competitor.
