Track and field encompasses a wide range of athletic events that test an individual’s speed, strength, endurance, and agility. From sprints to long-distance races, jumping events to throwing disciplines, there’s something for everyone in this exhilarating sport. Athletes compete in events such as the 100-meter dash, high jump, shot put, javelin throw, and many more.
In 2016, the Olympic trials for track and field were held in Eugene, Oregon – a city known for its passionate support of athletics. These trials are held to determine which athletes will represent their respective countries at the prestigious Olympic Games. I worked alongside other chiropractors, massage therapists, and medical doctors to provide care for the athletes.
