☆ Carl Lewis calls proposed format change in long jump an April Fools’ joke
  + stars: | 2024-02-21 | by ( George Ramsay | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
CNN —A proposed format change could shake-up the long jump at major track and field competitions, but will the idea take flight? That’s the big question for those involved in athletics right now, notably nine-time Olympic gold medalist Carl Lewis. The new format, which has been put forward by World Athletics chief executive Jon Ridgeon, could see athletes jump from a take-off zone, rather than a take-off board, essentially doing away with foul jumps. “The long jump is the most difficult event in track and field,” Lewis said in a separate post. Judges inspect the take-off board at the 2012 London Olympics.

The morning after he uploaded his new movie “Froning: The Fittest Man in History” to the iTunes store, in early October 2015, the director Heber Cannon received a phone call from somebody at iTunes, who sounded bewildered. “They called us and said, ‘Who are you guys? What’s going on?’” Cannon said in a recent video interview. But when we dropped the film, it was like wildfire.”Cannon and his creative partner Marston Sawyers, who work together under the name Buttery Bros, followed up “Froning” with a string of documentaries about athletes performing at the CrossFit Games. The films, which include “Fittest on Earth” (2016), “Fittest on Earth: A Decade of Fitness” (2017) and “The Redeemed and the Dominant: Fittest on Earth,” (2018), depict the Games in all their arduous, sweat-soaked agony, focusing on every explosive muscle-up and hefty snatch.
