SA Youth Long Jump

History[1]

Origin

The long jump was part of the pentathlon event during the Olympics in ancient Greece. Competitors used jump weights called halteres that were made from stone or lead and shaped like telephone receivers. Long jumpers held the haltere in front of themselves as they jumped into the air, then threw it behind them as they descended. Halteres were thought to help jumpers achieve longer distances.

Jumping events including the long jump were held throughout ancient Greece and Europe in festivals, fairs and the Pythian, Istmian and Nemean games. During the late 1800s in Europe and the United States, pentathlon-like sporting events also included long jumps, as did the first modern Olympics in 1896, although haltere weights were eliminated. The long jump has been included in all of the games since then, although women did not compete until the 1928 games in Amsterdam, Holland. In 1912, the International Association of Athletics Federations was created to govern the long jump and other track and field sports, and the men’s long jump and other track and field events were standardized in 1932.

Rules

  • The number of trials varies depending upon the number of competitors. If the number of competitors is more than eight, then each one will be given three trials and best eight among them may be given additional three trials. However, if the number of competitors is less than eight, then each may be given six trials.
  • If a competitor wishes, he can have some practice trials before the beginning of the competition under the supervision of judges. Once the competition has begun, they are not allowed to use the competition or take-off area.
  • Markers are provided by the organising committee to the players to mark their take-off and run off points. No other substances like chalks should be used which can leave indelible marks.
  • Soon after the athlete jumps, measurement is done from the nearest point that has touched the take-off point.
  • All measurements are done perpendicular to the take-off point.
  • For the trial to be legal, the wind meter reading is also important. It should show the parameters within the required specific zone.
  • The performer has to complete his jump within one minute.
  • If there is a tie between two players after scoring, chances are given to them till the time one performs better than the other and gain more points.
