Decathlon. I have EVERY respect for EVERY COMPETITOR that completes 10 disciplines over 2 days. Great example being Daley Thompson's (GB) contributions over the years. Awesome.

I definitely like the mile best (I also run either the 2 mile, or the 800m, depending on what coach wants.) The mile is long enough that I don't feel like I'm sprinting, like I do in the 800m; also, I've got the mile memorized; I know exactly when to drive for the finish, when to kick it in, who will be going out extremely fast...I've just got the race memorized. The 800m...I used to think it was my favorite, but coach hasn't let me run it at all this year; instead, he's made me run the 2 mile. I run xc, so it's not like it's long for me; it's just got a whole other strategy, and 8 laps on a track is really long! I like watching pole vaulting too; if I wasn't so tall (5ft 11in) I'd probably give it a try. However, being so tall and being a naturally clumsy person, I have a feeling that trying pole vaulting might end with me in the emergency room. Oh well. :)

All the relays.
Not only do the runners have to be good individually, but they also have to be good teammates...passing a baton while trying to run/win a race is pretty hard. Timing is truly everything in the relays cuz if it's dropped, the entire team is out of the race! :)

400 meter dash , it combines the speed of a sprinting event with the technique of a distance race (plus it is just plain fun!), i would also include the triple jump and long jump.

I'm all about long distance, so anything from the 1500 meter and up

1500 meter race short enough that it doesn't lag on forever and long enough that you have time to think during the race and use strategies and doesn't feel like hell from the start

I'd say the 100m and the men's discus throw (the women's techniques tend to be kinda weird).

Javelin and discus throw
