Expression of the week- Track and Field

Dear followers of the blog,
sorry for not posting anything in more than 10 days. I was working as an interpreter in an event of Track and Field.

The track at UNIFOR-University of Fortaleza

It's the 8th year that I work. A great experience because I get to practice my English with native speakers and this year I got to use my Spanish too. There were athletes from USA, Canada, Bahamas, Jamaica, Croatia, Lithuania, Portugal, Morocco, Colombia, Ecuador, Chile, Cuba,Trinidad and Tobago, Nigeria and Ethiopia .
Thanks to the team of interpreters who worked really hard, to UNIFOR (University of Fortaleza) and to CBAT (Brazilian Confederation of Track and Field)





So, the expression of the week is Track and Field. Did you already discover what it means?

If not, I will give you a definition:

DEFINITION: It is a sport of various competitive activities of running, jumping and throwing such as:

400 meters with hurdles

100 meters

High Jump

Hammer Throw

Javelin Throw

Shot put

Pole vault

And others more. Track and Field is a beautiful and old sport that has its roots in human prehistory since running, jumping and throwing are natural forms of human physical expressions.
