DID YOU KNOW
How Track & Field Started
LONG JUMP
The origins of the long jump can be traced to the Olympics in Ancient Greece, when athletes carried weights in each hand. These were swung forward on take-off and released in the middle of the jump in a bid to increase momentum.
SPRINT
The word "sprint" was first seen around 1780 to mean a spring-powered snare for catching birds. Around 1800, its meaning shifted to describe a leap forward, whether by humans or animals. It wasn't until 1862 that it was first used for fast running.
