In ancient Greece, the long jump was performed by running and then leaping into the air to cover as much distance as possible. Athletes used a technique called "jumping with weights," where they held halteres (heavy weights) in each hand to propel themselves further. Upon landing, they aimed for a designated mark, often using a pit filled with sand to measure their jump. Competitions often took place as part of larger athletic events like the Olympics.
