Carl Lewis calls proposed format change in long jump an April Foolsf joke
„{„‚„p„{„u„~ „ƒ„ƒ„„|„{„p
A proposed format change could shake-up the long jump at major track and field competitions, but will the idea take flight? Thatfs 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.

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

gAthletes stepping over the front of the take-off board that doesnft work, thatfs a waste of time c [the proposed format] means every single jump counts, it adds to the jeopardy of the competition, the drama of the competition.h
Ridgeon added that World Athletics will test the concept this year with gvery good athletes,h explaining that gif it doesnft pass testing, wefll never introduce it.h
