The landing pit extends across the foreground and back to the right. At center, a jumper hovers in mid-air, facing slightly left. He jumps with his knees pulled close to his chest and with both of his arms flayed to his sides. Along the left edge of the pit, two meet officials hold a measuring tape. Several other athletes stand behind them and watch the jumper.
