- Synopsis
- This page shows six images of athletes competing in various events: running, hurdles, long jump, javelin, hammer throwing and high jump. Each image has a dashed line image border. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. Running (top left) This is an image of a runner facing to the right with her head at the top of the image. Down from her head is her body. She is wearing a singlet and shorts and holds her arms out to the left and right. Her leg to the left is on the ground and pushes her forward. The leg to the right is raised. Hurdles (top centre) This picture shows an athlete, viewed from the side and facing right, striding over a hurdle. His head is in the top right of the image with his body down to the left, and his arms held out to the left and right. He is wearing a singlet and shorts, and his legs stretch out horizontally to the left and right. The hurdle is down from his body and rests on the ground at the bottom of the image. Long jump (top right) This picture shows an athlete in mid-air facing left and seen from the side. He is holding his arms up to the left and right in the top of the image. His head is between his arms and down the page is his body. He is wearing singlet and shorts. His legs are bent at the knee ready to land on the ground at the bottom of the image. Javelin (bottom left) This is an image of an athlete throwing a javelin. He is seen from the side and faces right. His head is in the middle of the image. His hand to the left holds a javelin (a sort of spear), which he is about to throw. It points diagonally right to the top of the image and down to the left. The end of the javelin to the left cannot be found. His arm to the right is held out for balance. He is wearing a T-shirt and shorts. His leg to the left is on the ground at the bottom of the image. His leg to the right is up from the ground and moving to the right and down. Hammer throwing (bottom centre) This is an image of an athlete throwing a hammer, she is seen from the side and faces right. Her head is at the top left of the image and down from this is her body, leaning back to the left. She is wearing a crop-top and shorts. Her arms are held out to the right and she is holding the handle of the hammer. The wire of the hammer stretches out to the weight at the right of the image. She revolves on the spot and swings the weight around her, before letting go. Her feet are at the bottom of the image but only the one to the left is touching the ground. High jump (bottom right) This athlete, seen from the side, is jumping over a high jump bar. She is using the Fosbury flop technique, which involves running at the bar, turning and jumping backwards so that her body is in a horizontal position in mid-air. She goes over the bar head first and will end up falling to the left with her back on the ground. Her head is to the left of the image, facing left with her chin uppermost. Her arms are spread out up and down from this. Further to the right is her torso. She is wearing a crop-top and shorts. The bar, seen from the end and represented by a large dot, is in the centre of the image with its support going up and down the page from this. Her legs are flopping down to the right.
