Athletics at the Maccabiah Games

Track and field athletics is one of several sports contested at the quadrennial Maccabiah Games competition. It has been a Maccabiah Games sport since the inaugural edition of the event in 1932.[1]

Though not as competitive in recent years, several world-class and Olympic athletes have competed at the Games in the past, such as 1964 Olympic 4 x 100 metres relay medalist Gerry Ashworth (who competed in 1965),[2] former shot put indoor world record holder Gary Gubner (in 1961),[3] and 1932 Olympic shot put gold medalist Lillian Copeland (in 1935).[4]
