October 9th is Athletics
October 9th is Athletics Day, which pays homage to one of the oldest and most fundamental sports, known for involving primary movements such as running, jumping and throwing. Athletics had its origins in the first Olympic Games, around 776 BC, in Greece, and encompasses a series of events that test endurance and physical abilities. In Brazil, the Brazilian Athletics Confederation regulates the rules and competitions, but the history of athletics in the country is relatively recent, with the first competitions taking place in 1910 and the creation of the confederation in 1977.
