Here’s a rundown of all the track and field rules you need to know for running, throwing and jumping events at the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
Most track and field events feature heats or some other form of qualifying ahead of the event final. This includes all races between 100m and 5,000m, jumping events and throwing events. The top three finishers in the finals earn gold, silver and bronze, respectively.Olympic track and field rulesOlympic sprints, hurdles and relay races begin with starting blocks. A starting pistol is fired after all racers are in position and the race begins.
Teams can be disqualified if the exchange happens outside the changeover box or if the baton touches the ground.There are no starting blocks for races 800m or longer. Racers start in an upright position and begin after a starting gun is fired. For the steeplechase, runners can go over the barriers in any way so long as their feet or legs do not fall below the horizontal plane of the barrier when they are clearing it.When there are more than 12 competitors in a race, they can be split into staggered groups. The latter group runs on the outer half until clearing the first bend.. The advancing leg must also be straight from the moment it touches the ground until it is in an upright position.
Pole vaulters are allowed to place substances on their hands and can use poles of any length and diameter. They are not, however, allowed to put tape on their hands unless it is there to cover an open wound.Long jumps are measured from the takeoff line to the nearest break in the landing area made by any part of the jumper’s body.
