Today at gym, IPL was going on the treadmill screen that I had got on and that I saw cheerleaders and that then thought of reading more about them since the little IPL that I've seen including due to being very busy, I've mostly seen international girls and that some weeks ago a girl at a dance school in Delhi had asked the salsa dance teacher whether he could help her work at IPL as a cheerleader on which I had also told her that I could try to find for her on how she could perhaps do that but that we didn't interact since then because I haven't been able to go to that dance school since then including due to being very busy.
It's awesome that we've international girls including due to reasons mentioned in the article and that I wish that besides from a few nations mentioned in the article, even girls from North America and other parts of Europe and also Asia come to India as cheerleaders! There're several things of value mentioned in the article http://post.jagran.com/three-cheers-for-indian-culture-say-ipls-foreign-cheerleaders-1334241437 I also wish that several Indian girls if they want to then get awesome opportunities like these including internationally to perform as cheerleaders at top sporting events! From the little cheer-leading that I've seen in IPL, I do think that much higher quality professionals can also be brought in since cheer-leading itself is a sport with a lot of advanced moves and sequences and that one can watch high quality cheer-leading videos online. I wish that IPL would help with the same including to help the interested girls in India to advance in this as a sport! Best! Shakti Saran

Let us start with the history of Track and Field Equipments. First race took place at the first Olympic festival in Rome in 776 B.C. All the track and field sports started with Olympics which takes place once in 4 years. Over the centuries new track competitions started taking place. In the beginning when Olympic festival was started it just had four track and field events like boxing, wrestling and foot races of varying length. It is heard that before eighteenth century track and field competitions occurred only in Olympics. After eighteenth century many schools and universities incorporated these events as daily exercise. Apart from Olympics the first track and field competition was held in oxford and Cambridge universities in 1864.
Some major track and field events are as follows:

Shot put means putting a heavy metal ball as far as possible. Competitors take their throw from inside a circle 2.135 m in diameter, with a stop board which is approximately 4 inches high at the front of the circle. The distance is usually measured from the inside of the circumference of the circle to the nearest mark made by the falling shot in the soil.
