The answer is:
There was no long run-up to the jump.
The jumper carried special weights.
The jumper made more than one jump.
In the excerpt from "The Ancient City," the author Numa Denis Fustel de Coulanges makes reference to the long jump exhibited in ancient Greek athletics, which was quite different from modern long jump. For example, there is indication that the athletes did not run before performing the jump, so they probably executed numerous jumps. He also mentions that athletes moved forward special weights, called halteres, which provided impulse to the jump.
