2.For the jumping race , the athletes always hold two dumbbells (about 4-5 kgs )with them .why ? first ,the old Greece thought it can keep body balance ;second,they concluded that they could jump further than without anything holding in their hands . Actually , it is impossible for you to jump further but just the opposite to what ones wishes .
