Look it up on the Olympic website and do some research. We don't get an A if you do.

Hurdle events are 100m for women and 110m for men and they also do 400m. Mens Discus is 2kg and womens is 1kg guess just because in general men are stronger than women. I know the longest jump of the olympics was in the final so in your yahoo search bar type in long jump 2008 olympics and go on to the wikipedia site and if you do the same for javelin you will be able to sort it all out there.

1) 110 metres (men), 100 metres (women), 400 metres for both and 3000 m steeplechase for both 2) the longest throws are in javelin, so I'll go for Barbora Spotakova of the Czech Republic with 71.42 metres 3) the weight of 2 kg for men and 1 kg for women was set by the IAAF in conjunction with the average force of the two genders, to ensure excellence and fair competition 4)longest jumps are recorded in Triple jump so I'll go for Francoise Mbango Etone of Cameroon with 15.39 metres, Olympic record.

45m from start line to the first hurdle, 35m between Men do 110 metres women do 100 metres.. Women's javelin throw 71.42 m Women's long jump 7.04 m men have heavier discs cause they go further men have the power to do so ...... womens disc is lighter because they arnt as strong
