response: Well, running specifically dates to 776 BC, a long time ago!
original_response: Track and field has been around for a long time - in fact, running has been traced all the way back to 776 BC!
history: Have you ever competed in Track and Field? No, have you ever competed, maybe in the 5-event pentathlon? What are the events? I compete in the Highland Games I think some are similar. I don't know what the events are, but pentathletes would get some of their training from the military, and the events were skills that were considered useful for war. O not what I thought. My competitions are all strength based. Is this an old event? Ancient Greece was home to the first pentathlon that was documented, so yes, it is quite an old event Wow, how interesting. Are all the Track and Field events so old?
knowledge: In Ancient Greece, the history of running can be traced back to 776 BC.
