Athletics

Athletics is an Event class that appears in several instalments of the Mario & Sonic series. In the series' earlier games, Athletics is split into two subclasses, Track events, which consists of events that involve running, and Field events, which comprise of throwing and jumping events, however in the Nintendo 3DS version of Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games, all of the Athletics events are grouped into a single class. Athletic events are also featured in Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games and Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, though are not classed as such due to the lack of event classes in the game.
