Argentine Athletics Championships

The Argentine Athletics Championships (Spanish: Campeonato Argentino de Atletismo) is an annual outdoor track and field competition organised by the Argentine Athletics Confederation , which serves as the national championship for the sport in Argentina.

[2] The competition programme features a total of 38 individual Argentine Championship athletics events, 19 for men and 19 for women.

A 20,000 metres race walk was regularly held between 1992 and 2004. and a men's pentathlon was also formerly contested, being dropped in 1973.

The heptathlon was first held in 1981, replacing the long-standing women's pentathlon as the standard combined event.

The women's field events reached parity with the men's after the addition of the triple jump and hammer throw in 1990, and the pole vault in 1994.
