... second jump (step) ...

... and third jump

The triple jump ( English triple jump ) is a discipline of athletics . It consists of three successive jumps ("Hop", "Step", "Jump"). The best three jumpers achieve a width of approx. 18 meters for men (world record: 18.29 m) and approx. 15 meters for women (world record: 15.50 m).

The competitor runs on a run-up track to a take-off bar, from which the jump is measured. The first landing behind the take-off board must be made with the same foot that was used to jump. This is followed by the “step” (landing on the other foot) and then the “jump” into the sand pit (as with the long jump ), so that the jump sequence “right-right-left” or “left-left-right” results. Internationally, the take-off board is at least eleven meters away from the sand-filled diving pit. At national competitions and youth competitions you can also jump from the 7- and 9-meter bar. Each jumper has three or six (in the final) attempts at the competition.

The triple jump has been part of the modern Olympic program from the very beginning ( 1896 ) . The very first modern Olympic champion, James Connolly , was a three-jumper. At the 1900 and 1904 Games , a triple jump from the stand was also held. The women's triple jump has also been Olympic since 1996 . The first triple jump competitions in Germany were held around 1896/97.

history

The term triple jump already occurs in the ancient Olympic Games , but there the sum of three individual jumps was assessed. The triple jump as a jump sequence can be proven for the first time in 1465.

In the German sports movement of Friedrich Ludwig Jahn , triple jump with a leg change at every jump (right - left - right or left - right - left) was common. In contrast to this, in Ireland in the 19th century, when modern athletics was born, the three individual jumps were carried out with the same leg each (" hop - hop - jump ": right - right - right or left - left - left). In the USA the jump sequence " hop - step - jump " was used from the end of the 19th century and later declared as generally binding by the International Athletics Association IAAF .

For a long time, the triple jump was not recognized in Germany. It only became part of the German championships for men in 1931, as well as a discipline held as a German record.

In the women's triple jump, the earliest best performances were recorded around the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. After the world record of the Japanese Rie Yamaguchi of 11.66 m in 1939, development stagnated, and an improvement in this distance was only achieved in 1981 with 12.43 m.

Triple jump by Dmitri Sorokin at the 2015 Summer Universiade

The three-jumper reaches the greatest distance if he uses the high horizontal speed reached during the run-up as best as possible up to the third jump, i.e. H. The jumping ability is not the only decisive factor. In contrast to the long jump , the three individual jumps are much flatter.

Basically, there are two jumping styles: Very powerful three jumpers achieve the greatest possible distance on the first jump and also jump relatively high on the following ones. Your jump image resembles a "hop". Your first partial jump ( hop ) is usually the furthest. (Steep jump technique).

Fast triple jumpers, on the other hand, try to lose as little speed as possible in the first two jumps. Your jump image resembles a "running". As a rule, your third partial jump is the longest. (Flat jump technique)

Individual elements of the triple jump

• Run-up - The length is approx. 35 to 42 meters, which results in about 18 to 22 running steps. The steps are a little longer than with the long jumpers, who reach about 22 to 24 steps with about the same inrun length.
• First jump ( hop ) - The jumper must on the one hand to achieve the widest possible trajectory, his other hand, intent on minimum speed loss, opposing requirements are. The jump angle can therefore be just high enough that there is still enough speed left for the two following jumps. The jump has an angle of approx. 14 to 16 degrees (long jump: 20 to 24 degrees). The length of the first jump is about one meter below the long jump best. High-jumping three-jumpers jump higher than those who sprint quickly and try to achieve a great distance with the first jump if possible. Good three jumpers reach over six meters. During the flight, the so-called leg change takes place, in which the ankle bone is brought forward again into the new take-off position.
• Second jump ( step ) - With the second jump, the body load must be intercepted and accelerated again. The stress on the ankle bone is higher than during the first jump and is about six times the body weight. The second jump is the shortest for all jumpers.
• Third jump ( jump ) - The third jump is similar to the long jump, as the jumper jumps off with one leg and then can only concentrate on the best possible landing. Therefore, all three flight variants of the long jump (step wide jump, suspension jump, running jump) come into question. Because of the significantly lower horizontal speed, the triple jumper cannot bring his legs forward as far as the long jumper. Sprint strong three jumpers achieve their highest individual distance with the third partial jump and reach over six meters.

Competition Regulations

The triple jump consists of hop, step and jump, whereby the athlete has to land with the same foot with which he jumped off. When stepping, he has to land on the other foot and perform the jump with it. This gives you the possibility to jump: left - left - right or right - right - left . Each athlete is initially entitled to three attempts. Then the eight best starters are allowed to complete three more attempts. If only a maximum of eight athletes are at the start, all have six attempts. A run-up track of at least 40 m length and 1.22 m wide is required for the approach. The athlete must jump from a beam that is embedded in the ground. He may not touch the so-called jump line - this is the name of the edge of the bar that is closer to the jump pit. An insert board with plasticine is placed in the take-off board directly at the take-off line. If the athlete steps over, an imprint can usually be seen in the plasticine mass. The distance between the jump line and the pit filled with moist sand is variable for the triple jump and is adapted to the competitor's level of performance. In international competitions a distance of 13 m is recommended for men and 11 m for women. If the 13 m bar is used as a basis, the distance to the end of the jump pit must be at least 21 m. The jump pit must be between 2.75 m and 3 m wide.

The following facts are assessed as a failed attempt (the decision on this is made by the umpire triple jump):

• the prescribed order for hop - step - jump, d. H. left - left - right or right - right - left is not observed
• the athlete runs through without jumping off
• he loses the direction during the run-up and jumps off next to the take-off bar (the run-up lane can be left during hop and step)
• he performs some sort of somersault during the run-up or jump
• When landing or leaving the pit, the ground outside the pit is first touched at a point closer to the take-off line than the impression in the pit
• the trial time of one minute is exceeded

Performance evaluation and ranking: the distance is measured from the jump line to the body print that is closest to this line and that was caused by any part of the body. It is always rounded down to whole centimeters. The winner is the athlete who achieved the greatest distance in one of his attempts. If there is a tie between two or more athletes, the second best distance will be taken into account - if necessary, the third best distance, etc. If there is a tie in first place, the athletes will continue to try until a winner has been determined.

World record development

Men

From 1826, very early in comparison to other athletics disciplines, records were set in the triple jump. Professional athletes held the Scottish Border Games in Scotland . The record was increased to 14.96 meters by 1873 - a distance that an amateur athlete only exceeded in 1910.

Also in Ireland there were very early triple jump competitions, but they were performed with a different step technique than is usual today (not listed here).

The first demonstrable record jump in the prescribed sequence of steps dates back to 1911 and was recognized by the IAAF as the first world record.

Until 1931 the best performance was always owned by British, Irish or US triple jumpers. The current world record set by Jonathan Edwards is the longest of all record lengths ever achieved.

Women

The earliest triple jump competitions are known from indoor events in 1899 and 1905. From 1909 to 1939, top performances were recorded outdoors - with widths of 8.805 m to 11.66 m.

In the years from 1981 until the official recognition of the women's triple jump (beginning of 1990), the jump distances were improved from 12.43 m to 14.52 m - most recently in July 1989 by Galina Tschistjakowa , who at that time already held the long jump world record (7.52 m) was.

A year and a half earlier, on January 3, 1987, Galina Tschistjakowa had surpassed the best performance of the time in an indoor competition in Moscow with jumps of 13.86 m, 13.96 m and 13.98 m.

Most of the improvements in the best distance came in the 1980s jumpers from the USA , where the triple jump was on the program since 1985 at the national championships.
