Athletics is the most popular sport to date. Most parents from an early age give their child to run, jump, etc. But just like in any other occupation, there are certain steps that a person goes through as he progresses. Such steps are called athletics categories.
In order to achieve a particular rank, you need to train a lot and for a long time. This sport does not like lazy people and parasites. Therefore, before starting training, it will be useful to familiarize yourself with those standards and requirements that include athletics categories. To achieve results in this sport, you need to engage in running, jumping, walking or throwing. Each of these varieties has its own standards, which are divided into female and male.
So, the athletics categories are divided into sports (CCM) and mass. The first are assigned from the age of 14, and the second, respectively, from 10. Each species is divided into three groups.
The necessary standards for obtaining the ranks of the CCM for running among men are presented in the table below.

50 | with | 6.1 | 6.3 | 6.6 |
60 | with | 7.1 | 7.4 | 7.8 |
100 | with | 11,2 | 11.8 | 12.7 |

Women's athletics categories are slightly different from the standards for the stronger sex. So, in order to get the third digit in the run of 50 meters, it is necessary to overcome the distance in 7.7 s. A second discharge at the same distance is given if the running time is 7.3 s. And in the case when the athlete ran faster than 6.9 s, then the first category in athletics is assigned.
The first youth category among men can be obtained by running the shortest distance of 50 meters in 7 seconds. But 5000 meters is already necessary to overcome in no more than 19 minutes. Girls need to run the same distances in 8.2 s and 23 minutes, respectively. Then the first category in athletics is provided to them.
Corresponding tables exist for the other varieties of athletics (walking, jumping, hammer throwing).
It should be remembered that the I youth category can only be obtained up to 18 years, the second youth category can be earned up to 16 years, and the age threshold for the third is 14 years.
