How did luz long help Jesse Owens?

Jesse Owens said in 1964 that Luz Long went to him and told him to try and jump from a spot several inches behind the take-off board. Since Owens routinely made distances far greater than the minimum of 7.15m required to advance, Long surmised that Owens would be able to safely advance to the next round without risking a foul trying to push for a greater distance. On his third qualifying jump, Owens was calm and jumped with at least four inches (10 centimeters) to spare, easily qualifying for the finals. In the finals competition later that day, the jumpers exceeded the old Olympic record five times. Owens went on to win the gold medal in the long jump with 8.06m while besting Long's own record of 7.87m. Long won the silver medal for second place and was the first to congratulate Owens.

How far would a flea and a frog jump if combined?

Well, if humans could jump as high as a flea, they could jump over the empire state building. So given that frogs are about 1/10th the size of a human, if a frog could jump as high as a flea, they could probably jump 1/10th of the empire state building, or about 125 feet high.
