The Long Jump World Championships is a prestigious athletic event that showcases the best long jumpers from around the globe. It is part of the larger World Athletics Championships, which takes place every two years. Athletes compete to achieve the longest jump possible, using a combination of speed, strength, and technique. During the competition, each athlete gets a series of attempts to jump from a take-off board into a sandpit. The distance of their jump is measured from the board to the nearest mark made in the sand. The athlete with the longest valid jump is declared the winner and may earn a medal, contributing to their national team's overall standings in the championships.
