In ancient Greece, long jump was part of the pentathlon and involved athletes jumping as far as possible from a designated take-off point. Competitors used weights called halteres, which they would swing to gain momentum and enhance their jump distance. Athletes were judged based on the distance of their jumps, with the best performers receiving accolades. The event emphasized both physical skill and technique, reflecting the broader values of athletic excellence in Greek culture.
