Athletics Federations

Athletics federations are organizations that govern and promote track and field sports, which include running, jumping, and throwing events. They establish rules, organize competitions, and support athletes and coaches at various levels, from local meets to international championships like the Olympics. Each country typically has a national federation, which is part of a larger international body, such as World Athletics. These federations work to ensure fair play, encourage participation, and develop athletic talent, contributing to the overall growth and popularity of athletics as a sport.
