The modern Olympic Games use sand and have springboards and jumpers. Athletes should run up first, jump out before jumping the jumper, and then fall into the bunker with their feet together.

The record is still there, and no one can surpass it, but with the development of sports and human evolution. Both men's and women's world records will be easily surpassed. There is no limit for human beings.
对于跳远运动，想必很多人在学生时代的体育课上都有参与过，简单有趣，且具有一定的竞技性。
跳远运动是最古老的体育运动之一，也是田径项目之一。跳远运动早在公元708年的古代奥运会就展开了，区别于现代跳远运动，古代奥运会中的跳远运动场地非常简单。
古代奥运会的跳远运动的测距离用的坑是用土代替的，土在跳远之前会被刨松，方便记录跳远运动员的跳远距离。
而现代奥运会所使用的是沙子，并且具有起跳板和起跳线。运动员先要助跑，在起跳线前跳出，然后双脚并拢落入沙坑。
跳远运动的成绩以试跳后成绩最优者获胜，随着跳远运动地不断发展，每隔几年都会产生新的跳远记录。
现如今跳远运动地世界纪录保持为
- 男子是美国的迈克·鲍威尔创造的8米95。
- 女子是前苏联加琳娜·奇斯佳科娃创造的7.52米.
这个记录目前任然保持着，并且无人超越，但随着体育运动的发展以及人类的进化。无论是男子世界纪录还是女子世界纪录都会被轻松超越，人类是没有极限的。
