• Long Jump is quite an easy sport to explain, there are 4 rodents on a team. There are 4 "areas" of the competition, 2 meter jump, 1 meter jump with twirl, 1 meter jump, jump over water. Each rodent on the team is responsible for one area of the competition. For example, Jerry Jerboa does the 2 meter jump, so no other rodent on the team does the 2 meter jump. Only Jerboas may compete officially, in long jump.

• 2 Meter Jump, the 2 meter jump is the easiest part of the Long Jump competition. The rodent taking part in the competition jumps (without running!) to the "target", a sandbox, if they land in the sandbox and do not jump higher than 3 feet, they will receive 3 points.

• 1 Meter Jump with twirl, the 1 meter jump with twirl is very similar to the 2 meter jump, instead the rodent must only jump 1 meter, but they must jump higher then 2 feet. At the peak of the jump, the rodent must do a somersault in mid air, and land in a sandbox (without getting dizzy!)

• 1 meter jump, the 1 meter jump is the same as the 2 meter jump, the only difference is that the 1 meter jump contestant must jump over a hurdle. The most common hurdle is a sand dune or leaf pile. Other hurdles are ice blocks, wood piles, etc.

• Jump over Water, the jump over water is a 2 meter long jump over water, this means they need to jump over the water. For this challenge the participants may not jump over one foot high, they may also not touch the water they are jumping over.

Reporter: Good evening, Lizzy Blacksilk, have you ever done long jump?

Lizzy: Well, do I look like a jerboa to you?

Reporter: No...

Lizzy: Ling jumping has long been kept within the jerboa population, they tend to be best at it.

Reporter: Do you enjoy watching Long Jump?

Lizzy: Yes. I find it fasinating, I also think I get some new ideas for my own training.

Reporter: What sport to do train for?

Lizzy: I'm on the international ice skating team.

Reporter: Do you enjoy it?

Lizzy: Yes.

Reporter: How long have you been interested in Long Jump? And, have you ever considered becoming one?

Lizzy: I've always been interested in it, I don't think I would become a long jumper even if I were able too.

Reporter: Thank you, Ms. Blackfur! It was very interesting to talk to you!
