Indoor athletics

Indoor athletics refers to track and field events held inside a sports arena, typically during colder months when outdoor conditions are unsuitable. The venues are usually smaller with a 200-meter oval track, and events include running races, long jump, high jump, pole vault, shot put, and hurdles. These competitions maintain the same standards as outdoor athletics but are adapted for indoor spaces. Indoor athletics allows athletes to train and compete year-round, offering a controlled environment that minimizes weather-related disruptions, making it essential for athletes preparing for outdoor seasons or competing in winter championships.
