I took the liberty to remove 300 m from the template - this distance is almost never contested and not listed on IAAF's all time list [1]. Punkmorten 21:07, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 3000m Steeplechase

This is listed as a middle-distance event in this box, and a long-distance event in the long-distance article. Which should be altered to make it consistent?

[edit] Biathlon

I removed the skiing og shooting from the list. Added on the 35 lb weight throwing event. Mr. Hill (talk) 20:01, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Marathon & Half Marathon

I note that marathon is excluded from the template, presumably because it is a road race, not track race. If so, why include half marathon? If not, why not include marathon?

It appears that marathon and several other long-distance running events were omitted in error when the template was updated recently. I've fixed the problem.

[edit] Misnomer

Many of these events are clearly not Track events: this would be tedious for marathons and half marathons, detrimental to track surfaces for throwing events, and injury-causing for jumping events. Proposals for a rename please! Kevin McE (talk) 09:27, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Of course. Template:Athletics events would be better. —JAO • T • C 09:39, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

I've gone ahead and moved it seeing as this is a bit of a no-brainer. Sillyfolkboy (talk) (edits)^{WIKIPROJECT ATHLETICS NEEDS YOU!} 14:40, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
