Is long jump the hardest event in track and field?🤔

On the JW+ podcast, Olympic silver medallist Will Claye 🇺🇸 shares his thoughts on why long jump is so technically demanding and explains why he finds it harder to master than triple jump.

With the long jump world record of 8.95m standing for nearly 35 years, the conversation raises an interesting question about just how difficult it is to reach the perfect jump.

Even legendary long jumper Carl Lewis 🇺🇸 has said that long jump is the hardest event.

Do you agree with Will Claye and Carl Lewis, or is triple jump even harder? Let us know in the comments! 👇
