I mean look at it. If you were good at another sport why wouldn't you be doing that? Let's face it. T&F attracts all the athletes that aren't good enough to make it in other sports. Everyone basically got cut from their team sport or saw the writing on the wall that they weren't going to make it at the next level. Sure there are a few 100m sprinter types that played football and were excellent and ran track to stay in shape for football. Herschel Walker is a prime example of this. The distance events are littered with guys that used to be soccer players. The Shot Put, Discus, & Hammer are all guys that couldn't hack it playing on the O or D line. High Jumpers must be frustrated basketball and volleyball players. Usain Bolt thinks he can play soccer but we all know he can't. Ever seen him play? I have. No technical ability at all and he doesn't have the endurance to last a full match.
