Athletics 2 stories

Athletics brings together track-and-field disciplines including running, jumping, throwing, hurdles and relays. Coverage can follow UAE competitions and athlete development while distinguishing sprinting, middle-distance and long-distance events from field disciplines and the performance standards used to assess progress.

The category acts as the home for stadium athletics and related competitive pathways rather than general fitness or recreational running. Event reporting, technique context and athlete stories belong here when they are grounded in recognised athletics disciplines and competition formats.
