In the Olympic Games, the long jump is measured from the take-off board to the nearest point of landing in the sand pit. The measurement is taken perpendicular to the board, ensuring accuracy. If the jumper lands in the pit, the measurement is recorded at the closest point of contact with the sand, which often is the heel or furthest body part that touched down. This method ensures a fair and standardized approach to determining the distance jumped.
