Athletics, in many ways, embodies the Olympic motto, 'Citius, Altius, Fortius', meaning 'Faster, Higher, Stronger'. Athletics, or Track and Field, is about running faster, jumping higher, throwing further than competitors and enduring long distances. For the Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games, Athletics comprises a total 36 track and field events for both Boys and Girls.
