Leo runs faster than anyone else on the team.
"Fast" is an irregular adverb that doesn't take "-ly". Its comparative form is simply "faster."
To win the championship, we all need to train harder.
"Hard" is another adverb that doesn't take "-ly" (note: "hardly" means "barely," which changes the meaning completely!). The comparative form is "harder."
Nina jumps the highest out of all the athletes.
"High" is also an adverb without "-ly." Since we are comparing Nina to all the athletes, we use the superlative form "highest."
