==Organizations== The international governance of track and field falls under the jurisdiction of athletics organisations. [[World Athletics]] is the global [[sport governing body|governing body]] for track and field, and athletics as a whole. The governance of track and field at continental and national level is also done by athletics bodies. Some national federations are named after the sport, including [[USA Track & Field]] and the [[Philippine Amateur Track & Field Association]], but these organisations govern more than just track and field and are in fact athletics governing bodies.<ref>[http://www.usatf.org/about/ About USATF] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100418220926/http://www.usatf.org/about/ |date=18 April 2010 }}.
