Long Jump

the average is 4.00m that what i jump

well i am 13 and recently jumped 5.20m so above 5m is good

My boy, Liam Gandhi best jump is 4.23 meters follow by 4.14(when he was 8 almost nine) at his school. His D.O.B is Feb 2002, He is just an average kid with good ability, nothing special.

I'm also interested to know how his jump compares to others

The standard long jump runway should be at least 40 meters, or 131 feet in length. The take off board should be at least 1 meter, or 3 feet, and the sand landing area should be at least 2.75 meters, or 9 feet.

It depends on the size of the competition and who the governing body is that's sanctioning the particular competition. In men's gymnastics, for example, a local or state competition often only requires one (possibly two) judges per event. The U.S. Junior Olympic National competition requires four judges per event. The Olympics and many international competitions divide their judges into two panels: the D-panel (which determines the D-score based on the content of the routine and difficulty of its skills) and the E-panel (which determines execution and form errors). Two judges are required on the D-panel, and six judges are required on the E-panel. There are many more variations than this, but this should give you an idea of how some places break it down.

Stefka Kostadinova of Bulgaria set the women's world record for the high jump in 1987 at a height of 2.09 meters (6 feet, 10 1/4 inches). It is the longest-standing world record in the history of the high jump.

8.95 meters is the current world record, held by Mike Powell (US). It was achieved at the 1991 Tokyo world championships .

One that is specified for a particular event, generally explained by an official on the day of the competition.

Jackie Joyner-Kersee won the gold medal in the long jump at the 1988 Summer Olympics with a jump of 7.40 meters which is still the Olympic record.

I suggest We all type our records because such records cannot be found ( trust me I've been researching for ages)

4.10 Metres.

This has got to be wrong because I jumped 4.57m at ten years of age. I am now 11 and I can jump 4.74. I would say the record is around 5.10.

He broke the record for the long jump distance

It is possible to use dirt, but not recommended. Sand is preferably used because when you land on it there is a lot of "give" to it to help absorb shock so it is better on your joints. It is less likely to pack down like dirt would do, which causes a harder surface. It would not be good for your knees.

Mike Powell in 1991 he set his record he jumped 29 ft 41⁄4 in !!

It depends, an average that I could think of would be ~ 2-5'

greter the initial velosity,greater will b the horizental range.the span depends upon the angle of projection.also the span of jump depends upon'g'.so for the same itial velosity and angle.the person will jump longer on the moon than on the earth.

History has not recorded the person that invented the long jump. History has recorded that the long jump started in the original Olympics in ancient Greece. Long jumpers would carry weights in their hands as they ran. As the athlete jumped he would swing the weight forward to increase momentum. In mid air the athlete would swing the weights backward to increase forward momentum. The athlete was required to hold onto the weights during the entire jump, including when he landed.

I used to be in both high jump and long jump. Although I dropped out of long jump, I know for a fact that no matter how many competitors are there to participate, each participant gets up to 4 jumps. They can choose to use them all or only take one, two, or just three of the four they have.
