A jump is measured from the foul line to the first spot where the athlete touched in the sand pit.
A long jump is typically measured from the takeoff board to the closest point of contact made by the competitor. The distance is then measured in meters or feet.
Long jump is measured from the takeoff line to the closest landing point in the sand pit. The distance is measured in meters from the edge of the takeoff board where the athlete's foot leaves the ground to the mark left by the athlete's nearest body part.
In the long jump event, the distance is measured from the take-off point to the nearest mark made in the landing area by any part of the body of the athlete. This mark is typically made with a tape measure placed perpendicular to the take-off line.
Long jumps are measured from the edge of the take-off board to the closest mark made in the sand by any part of the athlete's body that touches the sand. The distance is measured perpendicularly from the take-off board to the mark in the sand, regardless of whether it is behind or in front of the board.
In long jump, the distance is measured from the take-off point to the closest mark made in the sand by any part of the athlete's body that first touches the sand. This measurement is typically taken using a tape measure or laser device.
it is measured in feet
Yes.

No. The long jump world record is measured in meters. The world record is 8.95 meters (29 feet, 4 1/2 inches) as of April 1, 2008.
There are two track and field events. The long jump, and the triple jump.
A long jump in track and field is a jumping event where athletes try to jump as far as possible from a takeoff point. The jump is performed by sprinting down a runway and then leaping into a sandpit, with the distance measured from the takeoff point to the closest mark made in the sand by any part of the athlete's body.
The second jump is ignored since the first was better.
Inches
No it doesn't because the taller you are the shorter the distance you jump when you get measured
He does not long jump.
Just like the long jump, the triple jump requires that a competitor begin his or her jump from a designated line called "the board". This line is typically much farther back and the jumper performs three individual jumps in one constant movement. Did you know that if a jumper starts his/her jump before reaching the board, the jump will be measured FROM the board?
