Away from Wales’ indoor events in Swansea and Cardiff, Loughborough University hosted its @LboroSport indoor open fixture over the weekend.
Yesterday, Jessica Lee was in action in pool C of the long jump, opening the year with a leap of 5.80m.
World Athletics are planning to trial a new format to the long jump 🏟️
This is after data from the World Championships in Budapest highlighted a third of attempts were no-jumps 🇭🇺
Instead of a take-off board, there will be a take-off zone and it will be trialled at lower-level competitions this season 🌍
Jumps would then be measured from the front of the take-off foot within that zone 🌬️
Speaking on @AnythingbutF, World Athletics CEO Jon Ridgeon stated: "We’ll measure from where the athlete takes off to where they land in the pit.
“That means every single jump counts. It adds to the jeopardy and drama in the competition.
"We’ll spend this year testing it in real life circumstances with very good athletes. If it doesn’t pass testing, we’ll never introduce it.
"At the same time we’re working out ways we can get instant results so you don’t have to wait 20-30 seconds before the result pops up."
We are delighted to announce the athletes selected for the Welsh Athletics Performance Pathway!🏴
