Athletic sports are, in broad terms, those contested by individuals (though some team variants such as relay events are included) who are primarily reliant on human physical endeavour, demanding the qualities of stamina, fitness, and skill. Probably best known for their inclusion in the Olympic Games, athletic sports include track and field, gymnastics, trampolining, and weightlifting.
