Congratulations, Owen ... on another top four finish (damnit!) and also on the clever idea, convincingly executed. Several people have remarked on the technical skills required to pull off this illusion, but I'd like to compliment you on also capturing the three most interesting instants of the athlete's jump.

Wow great to get a 7. Some people asked how it was done so here are the details.

The three shots were taken from a tripod of the 1 jump. 3 in 1 second by consecutive shooting. The 2nd and 3rd shots were laid over the top of the first shot and cut away where the black lines are. Then the borders were put on a layer over that and cleared where the underlying image had to show through.
Here are some outtakes as well.
