At the 2008 Games in Beijing, that was Anastasiya Svechnikova of Uzbekistan who was 15 years, 334 days old when she competed in women's javelin throw.

The youngest athlete whose age can be documented that ever competed in athletics at the Olympics is Céléstine N'Drin of Ivory Coast who was 13 years, 3 days old when she competed in women's 800 meter run at the 1976 Games in Montreal.

Depends what Track and Field event you are talking about. But the fastest man in track in field is Usain Bolt. He ran the 100 meter dash in 9.69 seconds setting a new world record.
