Women Track and Field Intro.

Famous women track runners are not well known due to the lack of publicity on television or in public. They travel to many places and train for years for the big event, The Olympics. These women work very hard and have true dedication to what they do, whether it is a running event or field event. Some events include the 100-meter dash, 200-meter dash, 400-meter run, 4 by 1 relay, 800-meter run, high jump, long jump, and triple jump. All of these women have set a record at the Olympics for their event, proving they are the best. They are known for their athleticism and confidence and many have changed the face of the Olympics’ track and field.

I plan to write about a different woman track and field Olympian every week. This will include their journey in getting to where they are now, their accomplishments so far, and the types of events they do. I will include pictures of their medals and of them doing their event. I will discuss women Olympians from all over the world, including America. Some of these women will  more known than others, but they all have achieved great things at the Olympics.
