Săritură în lungime

Jessica Ennis în timpul unei sărituri în lungime.

Săritura în lungime este o probă de atletism.

Concurenții trebuie să sară înainte de capătul unei scânduri de decolare implantată la sfârșitul pistei. Săritura se măsoară de la capătul scândurii până la cea mai apropiată urmă făcută în nisip de orice parte a corpului. Fiecare competitor are dreptul la trei sărituri neconsecutive; va fi luată în considerare cea mai bună săritură.
