Track and field is definitely a sport because it allows your body to move and it’s competitive.

Answer:

I consider it a sport because Track and field is a sport that includes athletic contests established on the skills of running, jumping, and throwing. The name is derived from where the sport takes place, a running track and a grass field for the throwing and some of the jumping events. Track and field is one of the oldest of sports. Athletic contests were often held in conjunction with religious festivals, as with the Olympic Games of ancient Greece. For 11 centuries, starting in 776 B.C., these affairs — for men only — were enormously popular and prestigious events. It takes a lot of physical stamina and strength. I have never personally been in track and field but i consider it a sport.
