Triple jump

The triple jump is an athletic (track and field) event, previously also
known as "hop, step and jump", which describes the actions a competitor
takes. The athlete runs down a runway until he reaches a designed mark from
which the jump is measured. The first landing after that mark has to be done
with the same foot as that which the athlete set off before or on the mark.
The next phase is a step (so with the other foot), and finally a jump,
landing in a sand box, like in the long jump.

The triple jump has been included in the Olympic Games since its first
celebration in 1896; in fact, the first Olympic Champion, James Connolly was
a triple jumper. In 1996, a triple jump event for women was held at the
Olympics as well, after having been included in the World Championships.

The current male and female world record holders are Jonathan Edwards of the
UK, with a jump of 18.29 metres (Goteborg, August 7, 1995) and Inessa
Kravets of Ukraine with a jump of 15.50 metres (Goteborg, August 10, 1995).
