Read the excerpt from the ancient city. the long jump was the only jumping contest in greek athletics and was quite different from the modern long jump. it is depicted in a number of vase paintings. the contestant carried special weights (halteres) which he swung forward to give himself greater forward motion. one of these weights found at olympia weighs over 4.5 kilograms (10 pounds). evidence for how the jump was executed is confusing, but it is almost certain that the athlete did not make a long run-up. the recorded distances jumped (up to 16.66 metres/54½ feet), which are far in excess of the modern long jump record, suggest that it was almost certainly some kind of multiple jump. which aspects of the ancient greek long jump were different from the modern long jump? check all that apply. it was part of a sporting event. there was no long run-up to the jump. the jumper carried special weights. the jumper made more than one jump. jumpers’ distances were recorded. extreme distances were jumped.
