Purpose and description
Enable an AI agent to recognise, assess and support long-jump attempts by relating approach and take-off execution to landing distance, attempt validity and the conditions governing participation.
Long jump is a horizontal jumping event in which competitors seek the greatest valid distance from a designated take-off line to their nearest landing mark, normally using a running approach, a one-foot take-off and a sand landing area.
It can be Identify whether an observed activity is a full long-jump attempt or a related drill.; Locate approach, take-off or landing observations that may explain a change in measured distance.; Check recorded evidence against the applicable attempt-validity rules and flag unresolved judgments.; Compare attempts while accounting for approach setup, wind, measurement method and validity.; Determine which recorded results may enter a ranking or eligibility assessment under an identified ruleset.; Flag runway, take-off-area or pit conditions that require inspection before another attempt..
Distinguishing features
The intended outcome is horizontal distance into a landing pit, rather than clearance of a raised bar.
A standard attempt combines a running approach with a single-foot take-off; a stationary two-foot launch belongs to standing long jump.
The event has one take-off followed by flight and landing, rather than the successive hop, step and jump of triple jump.
An official result depends on the prescribed take-off reference and landing mark, so it can differ from the athlete's actual airborne displacement.
A physically completed jump may be invalid, and a valid measured jump may have separate restrictions on record or statistical eligibility.
Scope
+ The running approach, single-foot take-off, flight and sand-pit landing of an attempt
+ Attempt validity under an identified ruleset
+ Measured distance, wind conditions and result eligibility
+ Attempt sequencing and performance comparison within a session or competition
+ Long-jump-specific readiness of the athlete, runway, take-off area and landing pit
- Standing long jump and other jumping tests without a running approach
- Triple jump and its distinct hop, step and jump sequence
- General sprint training, strength programming and athlete medical diagnosis
- Construction and maintenance specifications for athletics facilities
- Administration of an entire athletics meeting or combined-events competition
Characteristics
- Activity setting
- competition attempt | full-approach practice | shortened-approach practice | technical drill Determines whether a distance represents an official result or a training observation.
- Governing ruleset
- Identified governing body, rule edition and event-specific conditions Supplies the authority for validity, measurement, attempt allocation and ranking decisions.
- Approach length
- metres and/or explicitly defined stride count Makes approach setup reproducible and distinguishes comparable attempts.
- Approach speed
- m/s over an identified approach segment Supports assessment of speed carried toward take-off without treating measurements from different segments as equivalent.
- Take-off foot
- left | right | unobserved Connects approach setup and technical observations to the athlete's actual take-off pattern.
- Take-off position relative to reference
- centimetres, with the reference, observed body point and sign convention recorded Helps distinguish distance lost before the reference from a possible infringement requiring adjudication.
- Attempt status
- pending | valid | failed | passed | unresolved Prevents an unverified measurement or a passed opportunity from being treated as a valid result.
- Measured jump distance
- metres, with measurement method and reporting precision Records the assessed outcome while retaining how it was established.
- Wind reading
- signed m/s, or explicitly unavailable or not applicable Supports ruleset-specific eligibility decisions and interpretation of performance conditions.
- Result eligibility
- eligible | ineligible | unresolved, separately for placing, records and statistical comparison Keeps attempt validity distinct from the purposes for which its result may be used.

Drafted structure
Bundle to layer to finding to question, as the second pass will find it: 6 bundles · 11 layers · 18 findings · 28 questions.
Event identity and rule context Establishes which form of long-jump activity is being modelled and which requirements govern it.
Training jumps, adapted formats and official competition attempts cannot automatically share the same interpretation.
Activity boundary
Distinguishes the registered event from neighbouring jumping activities and partial exercises.
Running single-take-off attempt
Record whether the activity contains the approach, single-foot take-off, flight and pit landing that identify the model's central case.
- Does the activity involve a running approach and one take-off into a sand pit, or is it standing long jump, triple jump or a drill? boundary
- Which phases are intentionally omitted or modified in this practice or adapted format? definition
Applicable authority
Connects the attempt to the rules and event conditions needed to interpret it.
Rules and format reference
Record the governing rule edition, participant category and local modifications before deriving official judgments.
- Which published rule edition and event conditions govern this long-jump session? provenance
- Do age-group, classification or local provisions modify the take-off reference, assistance permitted or attempt format? boundary
Approach and take-off Relates the athlete's run-up to take-off placement and execution.
Long-jump performance depends on arriving at the take-off area with usable speed and sufficiently repeatable placement.
Approach repeatability
Captures how the athlete reaches the take-off area across attempts.
Run-up setup and arrival
Record start position, approach length, check marks and observed speed or stride adjustments near take-off.
- What start mark, approach length and check marks were used for this attempt? measurement
- Do repeated observations show consistent arrival at take-off, or late shortening, reaching or other adjustments? measurement
Take-off execution
Describes the final ground contact and its position relative to the event's take-off reference.
Placement and launch observation
Separate observed take-off position and movement from the official decision about whether the attempt infringed a rule.
- Which foot took off, and where was the observed take-off contact relative to the applicable reference? measurement
- What video, sensor or observer evidence supports claims about speed loss, body position or launch direction at take-off? provenance
Flight and landing Captures airborne coordination, first contact and subsequent movements that affect the landing evidence.
The feet's initial contact alone may not explain the mark used to determine a long-jump result.
Airborne coordination
Describes movement between take-off and landing preparation.
Flight pattern and preparation
Record observed limb and trunk movements without assuming that a named technique establishes quality or causation.
- What airborne movement pattern is visible, and is there enough evidence to assign a recognised technique label? definition
- How are the legs and trunk positioned immediately before pit contact? measurement
Landing mark formation
Connects landing movement to the marks left in the pit.
Initial contact and nearest mark
Distinguish initial foot contact from later contacts that may determine the measured result under the applicable rules.
- Which contact produced the mark selected for measurement, and how was that contact identified? provenance
- Did a hand, seat or other subsequent contact leave a mark closer to the take-off reference than the initial foot marks? measurement
Adjudication and results Determines attempt status and records distance with the evidence needed for its intended use.
Distance, validity and eligibility answer different questions and must remain distinguishable.
Attempt adjudication
Records the decision on an attempt and the rule and evidence supporting it.
Validity decision and evidence
Retain the official status, any stated infringement and unresolved reviews rather than inferring validity from distance.
- Was this opportunity completed, failed or passed, and who recorded that status? provenance
- If the attempt was ruled invalid or disputed, which rule and observed event support the decision? boundary
Distance and eligibility
Links measurement and environmental evidence to the uses permitted for the result.
Measured result with conditions
Record the measurement reference, selected landing mark, distance and wind evidence before evaluating placing or record eligibility.
- What distance was measured, using which reference, landing mark, method and reporting precision? measurement
- Given the wind reading and other required evidence, for which ranking, record or statistical purposes is this result eligible? action
Attempt sequence and readiness Places each jump within its session and assesses whether the next attempt can proceed.
Attempt opportunities and the condition of the approach and landing areas affect immediate decisions.
Series position
Tracks completed opportunities and the basis for selecting or comparing results.
Attempt history and next opportunity
Record attempt order, valid distances, failures and passes together with the applicable progression and tie-resolution provisions.
- What is the ordered series of results, failures and passes, and which attempt opportunities remain? measurement
- Which result determines the current placing or training comparison, and what rule resolves equal best distances if needed? action
Next-jump readiness
Checks immediate conditions specific to the run-up, take-off and sand-pit landing.
Runway, take-off and pit clearance
Record observable obstacles, traction concerns, pit preparation and athlete-reported concerns that require attention before another jump.
- Are the approach and landing areas clear, the take-off surface usable and the pit prepared for the next attempt? measurement
- Do observed conditions or athlete-reported concerns require holding the attempt for inspection or qualified assessment? action
Evidence and external alignment What the world already says about this thing, gathered so the model can be checked against it.
A model that cannot be lined up against existing standards, identifiers and practice cannot be adopted by anyone who already uses them.
