JUMPING THROWING

a jumper should posses:
1. Great speed to help propel the
body to a good height and stay
suspended in the air for the
longest possible time

2. The ability to fully extend the knees and legs to

achieve a good take off and landing
High Jump consist of a
short run up, take off from
one foot, and a jump over a
horizontal bar resting onto
two upright poles, before
landing on cushioned area
on the other side.
The long jump consist
of a short run up
followed by a jump
forward into an area of
dug up earth. Its aim is

the multi-sport event. The men's pole vault has been
present on the Olympic athletics programme since the
first Summer Olympics in 1896.

(athletics) in which an athlete makes a
horizontal jump for distance

movements—a hop, in which the athlete
takes off and lands on the same foot; a

jump, landing in any manner, usually
 THROWING EVENTS
The shot put is an event in
which the participant stands
inside a circle and attempts to
"put" a weighted ball as far as
they possibly can. The "put" is
different than a "throw" due to
the motion of the arm.
 THROWING EVENTS
discus throw, sport in athletics
(track and field) in which a disk-
shaped object, known as a
discus, is thrown for distance. In
modern competition the discus
must be thrown from a circle 2.5
metres (8.2 feet) in diameter and
fall within a 40° sector marked
on the ground from the centre of
the circle.
 THROWING EVENTS
The javelin throw is a track and field event
where the javelin, a spear about 2.5 m (8 ft 2
in) in length, is thrown as far as possible. The
javelin thrower gains momentum by running
within a predetermined area. Javelin throwing
is an event of both the men's decathlon and the
women's heptathlon.
