The long jump can just as easily be named the “run and jump” or “sprint and jump,” because the actual jump is only part of the process. The origins of the long jump can be traced to the Olympics in Ancient Greece, when athletes carried weights in each hand. These were swung forward on take-off and released in the middle of the jump in a bid to increase momentum. The long jump, as we know it today, has been part of the Olympics since the first Games in 1896.
