Many are wondering: how is the distance to which an athlete jumped in length measured? He's flopping all over, so from what point is the countdown? It turns out that the landing point is considered to be the point of contact closest to the push bar. That's why jumpers try to stretch their arms and legs forward - so as not to accidentally strike a limb on the sand before the final landing, because in any case only the first touch will be counted.
