Hop, step then jump.

What are the standard dimensions for long and triple jump runways per the IAAF standard?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The triple jump , sometimes referred to as the hop, skip and jump is a track and field sport, similar to the long jump. The competitor runs down the track and performs a hop, a bound and then a jump into the sand pit. The triple jump was inspired by the ancient OlympicGames and has been a modern Olympics event since the Games' inception in 1896.According to IAAU rules, "the hop shall be made so that an athlete lands first on the same foot as that from which he has taken off; in the step he shall land on the other foot, from which, subsequently, the jump is performed." The current male and female world record holders are Jonathan Edwards of Great Britain, with a jump of 18.29 m (60 ft 0 in), and InessKravetz of Ukraine, with a jump of 15.50 m (50 ft 10 in). Both records were set during 1995 World Championships in Gothenburg.

What are the best long jump spikes?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Every track surface has its own optimum spike length. Current all weather tracks (rubberized) are built for best results with short (1/4" or 8mm} spikes and will not allow athletes to use longer spikes that will damage the expensive rubber surface. On wooden tracks a shorter spike might be advisable (so it doesn't get stuck in the wood, slowing the athlete). On a dirt track, much longer spikes will work better though it still depends on the kind of dirt surface. A clay surface might still suggest a shorter spike than a more granulated or rocky kind of surface.

Why was Bob Beamon's long jump record never broken?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It was not broken for so long because it was so legendary.

It defyed all of human limits at the time. Even done at altitude, with was a good jump. The measuring system could not measure his jump, so done manuelly, 8.90 came up.

No one in the world at the time could even get half a meter close to him.

Beamon never jumped pass 8.25 ever again in his life.

When broken in 1991 by Mike Powell with a jump of 8.95, it was still amazing.

Powell never won a gold medal in the Olympics. He was the most inconsitant jumpers in the world during his career spaning 1988-1995. One jump broke the world record. Again like Beamon, he never came close again.

The Greatest long jumper in the world is Carl Lewis. He no only excelled in the long jump but the sprints. He had a personal best of 9.91 unoffical can a 9.87 offical jumps. He held the world record (in my books) for a few short minutes. Mike Powell killed his jump with his record said above. Lewis pro career spaned longer that Powels. Lewis's Career was 1983-1996. 4 consecutive gold Medal in the Olympics '84, 88', '92, and '96. No one had ever and even today has managed to win 4 consecutive long jumps in the Olympics. Alongside Al Oerter, they are the only two to have a four-peat in an event at the Olympics.

Lewis's four-peat in the Olympics is greater than Beamon or Powell former world and world records. It proves he is much more consistant
