Best Answer

Long Jump, High Jump, and Triple Jump are three 'true' jumping events- meaning they are entirely based on an athlete's unaided ability to gather forward momentum and launch themself, completely airborne, for a given distance or height.

The fourth that may be considered a 'jumping event' is the Polevault. What destinguishes this event from the others is implentation of the pole (or 'implement') that the athlete must use to negotiate the height. The rational that it is not a jumping event is in the details of the technique required to accomplish this. The correct technique is primarily dependant on gathering enough momentum down the runway where as in combined with the thrust of the pole into the box, or 'the stick', will enable the pole to significantly flex upward. The pole under tension will launch, or 'vault', the athlete off the ground into the air. the ahtlete is also never completely airborne as they are holding the pole which is always in contact with the ground and is being aided by the force generated in the pole to accelerate the athlete upward (hopefully).
