Triple Jump Overview

What is the Triple Jump?

• The triple jump is an athletics event categorized under jumps, requiring a specific sequence of movements.

• The sequence consists of three phases: a jump on one leg, followed by another jump on the same leg, and finally a change to the opposite leg before landing in sand.

Jumping Sequences

• Two primary sequences are used: left-left-right or right-right-left, culminating in a fall into the sand pit.

• Measurement of the jump is taken from the nearest footprint left in the sand to the take-off board.

Rules and Records

• If an athlete's first jump exceeds the line at take-off, that attempt will be disqualified.

• The men's world record for triple jump is held by Jonathan Edwards with a distance of 18.29 meters set in 1995.
