Jumping events
Jumping events In the high jump athletes have to jump over a metal stick called a crossbar, without knocking it down. It is placed on two vertical poles. Most modern jumpers pass over the crossbar with their heads first.
The jumping events are long jump, triple jump, high jump and pole vault.
Track and field is a sport that includes athletic contests based on running, jumping, and throwing skills. The name is derived from where the sport takes place, a running track and a grass field for the throwing and some of the jumping events
Pole vaulting, also known as pole jumping, is a track and field event in which an athlete uses a long and flexible pole, usually made from fiberglass or carbon fiber, as an aid to jump over a bar.
