doping
There were also two doping cases in the women's triple jump . Two athletes were affected who also took part in the long jump five days later and whose results were canceled there as well as here in the triple jump.
- Tatiana Lebedeva , Russia. She was convicted during follow-up investigations into doping abuse. In January 2017 she was stripped of her silver medals in long and triple jump .
- Chrysopigi Devetzi , Greece. Her results in the long and triple jump were also canceled following follow-up examinations in January 2017 for doping abuse. In the long jump she was eliminated in the qualification, in the triple jump she had initially won bronze.
The athletes placed in the final after Lebedewa and Devetzi moved up two places in the official ranking. It was no longer possible for the Serbian Biljana Topić and the Frenchwoman Teresa Nzola Meso to retrospectively realize the final participation, which was prevented by Lebedewa's and Devetzi's doping fraud. In addition, the Ukrainian Olha Saladucha and the Estonian Kaire Leibak would have been eligible to start three more attempts in the final of the eight best jumpers.
qualification
August 15, 2008, 9:40 pm
The qualification was carried out in two groups. The qualification distance for the direct entry into the final was 14.45 m. Since only eight athletes reached this distance (highlighted in light blue), the final field was filled with the next best athletes from both groups to twelve participants (highlighted in light green). To take part, 14.18 m had to be achieved. The eight jumpers who qualified directly for the final also included the two doping fraudsters Lebedewa and Devetzi, so that ultimately only ten athletes made it into the final ranking.

final
August 17, 2008, 9:35 pm
Ten athletes had qualified for the final, six of them by qualifying distance and another four by their placements. Two Russian women and one participant each from China, Estonia, Jamaica, Cameroon, Kazakhstan, Cuba, Slovenia and Ukraine were represented. There were also the Russian Tatjana Lebedewa and the Greek Chrysopigi Devetzi, who were both disqualified for doping abuse almost nine years after this competition .
The favorites were both athletes who were disqualified in the course of follow-up controls, whose performance is no longer described in the following due to their disqualification. Other athletes who started with good prospects included the 2004 Olympic champion Françoise Mbango Etone from Cameroon, the Cuban Yargelis Savigne as world champion from 2007 , vice world champion from 2005 and Olympic third from 2004, the Jamaican world champion from 2005 and Olympian from 2004 Trecia Smith, the Russian World Cup third in 2005 and European Cup third Anna Pjatych as well as the Ukrainian Olha Saladucha as World Cup fifth in 2007 and EM fourth.
In the final there were two jumps over 15 meters in the first round. Mbango Etone led with 15.19 m in front of the Slovenian Marija Šestak, who set a new national record with 15.03 m. Pjatych was third with 14.67 m, ahead of Russian Viktorija Gurowa with 14.38 m. On lap two, Mbango Etone climbed another eight inches. Her 15.39 m meant a new Olympic record and a new African record . Savigne - 14.87 m, thus third, and Rypakowa - 14.83 m, thus fourth - had their first valid jumps. Pjatych improved to 14.73 m, but fell back to fifth place, Šestak remained second. In round three, Rypakowa moved past Savigne to third place with 14.93 m. Gurowa scored 14.77 m and was fifth ahead of Pjatych. There were more jumps of more than fifteen meters on lap four. Savigne reached 15.05 m, Rypakowa jumped 15.03 m. Mbango Etone was leading, but behind it it was extremely close. Savigne was now second, two centimeters ahead of Rypakowa in third and Šestak in fourth. In the next series of tests, Rypakowa countered again with a jump to 15.11 m. That was the decision, the Kazakh had set a new Asian record. After that there were no more changes.
Françoise Mbango Etone repeated her success from Athens as Olympic champion . Olga Rypakowa won silver and Yargelis Savigne bronze. Marija Šestak took fourth place. Viktorija Gurowa was fifth ahead of Anna Pjatych. The competition was characterized by a very high level despite the withdrawal of the results of two jumpers. The athletes in the first four places had exceeded the 15-meter mark, a new Olympic record was set, the world record was only eleven centimeters short. There were also two new continental records and one new national record.
Particularly affected by Lebedewas and Devetzi doping fraud were Olga Rypakowa and Yargelis Savigne, who had to assume that they had not received a medal for almost nine years. Subsequent handing over of the silver or bronze medal after this long period is only a weak compensation.
Both the second-placed Olga Rypakowa from Kazakhstan and the third-placed Yargelis Savigne from Cuba won the first Olympic medals for their countries in the women's triple jump .
