The plasticine strip is there to catch any foot that brushes over the foul line before the take-off board, making a clear impression for the judges. But the real rule is in your mind's eye—you plant your launch from the board's very edge, trusting your mark. I've lost a sure medal to that strip of clay, because in Bhubaneswar's summer heat, the board felt like it shrank a foot away.
