The 2016 Rio Summer Olympics are underway, and one of our personal favorite events have been great so far: women’s long jumpers. Maybe we enjoy it because of the level of athletic competition. Or maybe it’s just because these races are always chock-full of gorgeous young ladies. Whatever the reason, we love watching the action in Rio.

Women’s long jump kicks off August 16 at 8:05 P.M. EST, and concludes the following night on August 17 at 8:15 P.M. . Compared to other Olympic Sports, long jumping’s format is relatively simple. There are two rounds: qualifications and the finals. The qualifications are made up of 2 groups, Group A & Group B, with each group consisting of 19 competitors.
We searched low and high to find the hottest long jumpers in the world, so enjoy!
