The mark in the sand made by a long jumper is called a "landing mark" or "jump mark." It indicates the point where the jumper's feet first touch the sand after their jump. This mark is used to measure the distance of the jump for scoring purposes.
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.

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.

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.
