Long jump track

Long jump, an ancient sport, is a field and track event where an athlete combines strength, agility and speed to make the longest jump from the take off point. It has been a part Olympic Event since 1896. Long jump became popular in India from the early era of kingship. #sports #fitness #healthy #fit #longjump #athletics #athlete
