− | A proposed format change could shake-up the long jump at major track and field competitions, but will the idea take flight? That’s the big question for those involved in the sport right now, notably nine-time Olympic gold medalist Carl Lewis.

− |
| |
− | The new format, which has been put forward by World Athletics chief executive Jon Ridgeon, could see athletes jump from a take-off zone, rather than a take-off board, essentially doing away with foul jumps.

| |
− | It would mean that jumps are measured from where an athlete takes off to where they land in the pit.

− | “If you take the long jump at the world championships in Budapest last summer, a third of all jumps were no-jumps,” Ridgeon said on an episode of the Anything But Footy podcast, which was released on Monday.

| |
− | “Athletes stepping over the front of the take-off board – that doesn’t work, that’s a waste of time … <the>proposed format] means every single jump counts, it adds to the jeopardy of the competition, the drama of the competition.”
| |
− | Ridgeon added that World Athletics will test the concept this year with “very good athletes,” explaining that “if it doesn’t pass testing, we’ll never introduce it.”
