The results of racing events are decided by finishing position (or time, where measured), while the jumps and throws are won by the athlete that achieves the highest or furthest measurement from a series of attempts. The simplicity of the competitions, and the lack of a need for expensive equipment, makes athletics one of the most common types of sports in the world.

For example, the country of Japan is an independent, sovereign state, while the country of Wales is a component of a multi-part sovereign state, the United Kingdom.

The definition and usage of the word "country" is flexible and has changed over time.

Most sovereign states, but not all countries, are members of the United Nations. The largest country by area is Russia, while the smallest is ...
