Why are athletic events held in anti-clockwise direction?

Why are athletic events held in anti-clockwise direction?

As we know, the Earth rotates in the anti-clockwise direction, and hence, it is much easier to go around a circle in the anti-clockwise direction during sports meets, particularly athletic events. Therefore, all such events are held in the anti-clockwise direction.
