Olympic Track and Field Schedule 2012: When to Catch Your Favorite Events

Rob GoldbergJun 3, 2018

Throughout all of the events at the Summer Olympics, few display the pure athleticism of the competitors of track and field.

The subjectivity of judges and referees go out the window as the athletes themselves prove who is best. There is a reason the winners of these events earn nicknames like "World's Fastest Man," "World's Fastest Woman," and "World's Best Athlete."

This year should be one of the best Olympics ever in the track and field stadium, as the field of competitors is deep with talent and past accomplishments.

Events to Watch

Men's 100-Meter Dash

Usain Bolt was relatively unknown coming into the last Olympics, but he will not have that luxury this time around. Everyone in the field will be ready for the Jamaican, but catching him is a different story.

Tyson Gay, Justin Gatlin and Yohan Blake will all try to take the gold in the most prestigious race in the world, while Bolt will be trying to break his own world records.

Women's 4x100 Relay

The most publicized moment of the U.S. Olympic Trials was a tie for third place in the 100-meter dash. Allyson Felix and Jeneba Tarmoh were set to have a runoff for the final spot, but Tarmoh conceded the spot at the last minute.

Felix will have plenty of opportunity to make her mark in London, but Tarmoh's only chance to medal will be as part of the relay pool. Winning the gold for Tarmoh would be a great way to close a amazing story.

Men's Decathlon

Ashton Eaton did not only defeat returning gold medalist Brian Clay at the Olympic Trials, but he set a new world record in the process.

The decathlon requires incredible dedication to training in different aspects of track and field. It truly displays amazing feats of strength, speed and overall athleticism. Amazingly, Eaton might be the best to ever participate in this event.

Fans should make sure they do not miss this impressive showing.
