CONT

Contemplar el atletismo como un solo deporte es un error. El atletismo es una suma de especialidades que culturalmente se han agrupado bajo este nombre general. Las similitudes entre el maratón y el lanzamiento de martillo son muy pequeñas [...] Las especialidades del atletismo moderno son cinco : las carreras, los saltos, los lanzamientos, la marcha atlética y las pruebas combinadas.

OBS

atletismo: término oficial de los Juegos Panamericanos.
