Athletics (track-and-field) is not only the oldest but also the most popular sport. Running, jumping and throwing were popular in some ancient countries: Greece, Egypt and Assyria. Modern athletics began in the 19th century. Running races were held on open fields and later on at the stadiums, where athletes trained and competed. The first Russian athletics club appeared in 1888 in Petersburg. It started the development of Russian athletics. Many Soviet athletes showed good results in running, the Znamensky brothers were among them. Soviet athletes began to participate in international competitions in 1946. We know world and Olympic champions: V. Borzov, V. Brumel, V. Katz and many others.
