Excerpt
Track and field, as sporting events, have survived from Greek and Roman times. With the World Championships recently completed and the Olympics to be held again next year, more people are viewing track and field meets than in recent history. Among these events, the long jump, in particular, has drawn special attention because Carl Lewis has been attempting to break Bob Beamon's world record. However, despite the recent attention, most people view the long jump merely as an easy and enjoyable event in which one simply runs fast and jumps. However, it is much more than that. There are some very explicit actions which must be done in order to have a successful jump. The road from the beginning to the end of a good long jump includes a series of steps which must be performed perfectly.
