How to play Long Jump

1. Hold to run. Your speed builds the longer you run.
2. Let go to jump. The distance is measured from the foul line, so whatever runway you leave unused is lost.
3. Crossing the line while running is a foul and ends the run.
4. Each jump must pass its mark: 7.6, 8.5 and then 8.9 metres.

Tips

• You reach top speed after about 19 metres, so there’s nothing to gain by jumping early.
• The last mark needs a release within about three-quarters of a metre of the line.
• Watch the “metres to the line” counter rather than the athlete.
