As you can see, women have somewhat simplified standards than men. It should also be noted that according to statistics, it is women who are most often awarded the title of master of sports.
Standards for the Olympiad, World and European Championships
Of course, for every self-respecting athlete, the Olympics, and even more so the World and European Championships, is a turning point in his sports career and it is necessary to prepare for it in advance and thoroughly.
But, the realities of such competitions are such that the exact standards are found out only on the day of their holding and in advance, not a single participant knows about what sports indicators he has to fulfill. So, the future champion can only train according to standard data and believe in his victory at the Olympics and other competitions!
As you can see, it is necessary to train and earn standards in athletics for many years, thanks to long and grueling training, which ultimately develop endurance, patience and, naturally, perseverance in an athlete, which will come in handy in preparing for future competitions.
Also, when practicing athletics, young guys and girls, as practice shows, acquire not only external, but also internal confidence. Probably, it is precisely this fact that determines the high popularity of this type of sport, and it is quite possible to get a category in athletics, but the main thing is to have a desire and purposefulness.
