  • The Long Jump is more than a track and field event; it's a potential lifesaver. Discover how mastering the art of the long jump in 3 simple steps could be your key to outpacing danger. You just need a sprinter's speed, the precision of a river dancer, and a few dozen technical movements during the last 3 steps. This isn't just about flying through the air-it's about making the gap and landing safely when it counts the most!

    As a national long jumper, this is quite flattering. Didn't realize how cool I was

      @@hee73769 the ref measures your jump from the nearest part of your body to the board that touched the sand.
      So the kicking then "sitting" at the end of the jump is to maximize the distance and to guarantee that your jump is measured from where your feet landed, not something like your hands or lower back.

      @@OutperformOfficial thanks! I ended up jumping 11 1/2 feet. Not very impressive but I still managed to get second. I’m subscribing so I can get better distances. :]

    Of all the best long jumpers I can remember carl lewis as the only one that was elite speed and he wasnt the best longjumper. Just really good.

      There are quite a few very fast long jumpers. Some of their times are extrapolated from flying 10m etc. but here is a great chart
      Selected 100m speeds and long jump distance potential
      Long jump distance / 100m time
      8.90m / 10.00
      8.50m / 10.25
      8.26m / 10.45
      8.02m / 10.65
      7.00m / 11.50

    I do feel like this overemphasizes some of the difficulties like getting your step right. It’s really not that hard, but I understand that more of the difficulty comes from training and the takeoff, penultimate and such

      Opting for world-saving heroics is always a good call. Keep it up, and you might just avoid getting wet... or save humanity. May your adventures be many and your puddles always be navigable.
