What is the "broad jump"?
The broad jump is a field event where an athlete attempts to jump as far as possible from a standing or running start. The goal is to leap forward into a sandpit, with the distance measured from the takeoff point to where the athlete's closest body part touches the sand. Athletes must focus on speed, technique, and strength to achieve the longest jump. The event tests an athlete's ability to generate power through their legs and maintain proper form while airborne, aiming for maximum distance.
