Olympic champions, world record holders, and the greatest track and field athletes from 1865 to 2008 are represented in this game!    This is a track and field game simulation based in Microsoft Excel format.  You will need a copy of Microsoft Excel to play this game.    Athletes perform based on their actual historical capabilities.  From  today's stars to those who competed before the advent of modern facilities, equipment, training sciences, and consistent world class competition, all have been researched and are represented in the game to reflect how they might have performed if they had competed today.  The greatest athletes are always tough to beat but in this game upsets can happen!  No two competitions will ever be the same and athlete's performances vary as in real life.   Play this game solitary or with friends.  Relive the great rivalries in history, simulate the fantasy match-ups between the greatest of all time, or pick your favorites and attempt to break the world record!  Create your own fantasy teams or use one of five ready-made “generational teams” and compete in a full scale track meet (up to four teams can compete at a time).  The game will also automatically create teams for you.  Track meets are scored automatically and results can be printed or saved.   Run World Championship track meet using all the athletes in the game as they compete to advance through a number of trials leading up to the final eight in each event competing for the Gold medal! Set up a season, run dual, three-way, quad and invitational meets and finish with a World Championship meet.  Whether simulating one event or an entire season, you can do it all with the World Champions Athletics™ Track & Field game.   This is not a video game but accurately simulates the performances and capabilities of the greatest track and field athletes. You will enjoy and have fun playing this exciting game, especially if you are a serious fan of track and field athletics!  Decisions you make for field event performers and race strategies for runners affect the outcomes in those events.  You are the coach, so pick your team from the greatest athletes of all time, make the decisions, and go for the gold and a world record!   Special Features:   Over 800 track and field athletes from 1865 – 2008 are currently represented.
