Long Jump masterclass with Chelsea Jaensch

There is a lot more happening in the Long Jump than meets the eye, it isn’t just about running fast and jumping.

Every extra centimetre in the pit is extremely hard earned.

The sheer amount of force that goes through the body of an athlete in a jump is mind-blowing, a whopping 20-times the bodyweight goes through the foot to jump.

Women’s long jump in Australia is currently going through a boom period.

Australian record holder Brooke Stratton and Naa Anang have both jumped A-qualifiers this year, Olympian Chelsea Jaensch was impressive in her comeback recently, while Lauren Wells and Jess Penney are all jumping well.
