In track, points are scored according to how well the competitor placed in their event. If the runner got 1st place in their event, then they scored their team 10 points. If they got second place, they scored 8 points for the team, if they got 3rd place in their event, they scored 6 points, and so on. If there was a tie for first place, then you would take the scores for 1st and 2nd place and add them together(10 points plus 8 points) which is 18 points. Then you would divide the points in half which would be 9 points and that is how many points each competitor scores for their team. I probably didn't do a very good job explaining that, but hopefully it helps.

Irving Saladino won the gold medal in long jump at the 2008 Summer Games in Beijing with a jump of 8.34 meters (27 feet, 4 1/4 inches).
Vertical Jump is when they (scorers )measure you and then you jump as high as you can. The winner is the person who jumped the furthest.
There are a few rules for the Olympic long jump. Athletes' shoes can have a sole thickness no more than 13mm. Their runway is 40 meters long and they must take off from the front edge of the 20 centimeter wide takeoff board. Jumpers get three jumps each round, with the top 8 jumps moving on until the winner is decided in the final round.
There are two track and field events. The long jump, and the triple jump.
Whichever side has the greatest amount of votes is usually the winner of the election.
