The Triple Jump is a track and field event that combines a hop, a step, and a jump. Athletes aim to cover the longest distance possible in this sequence. The current world record for the men's triple jump is held by Jonathan Edwards, who set the record at 18.29 meters in 1995. For women, the record is held by Inessa Kravets, who achieved a distance of 15.50 meters in 1995 as well. Both records have stood for decades, showcasing the incredible talent and skill required in this event. The Triple Jump is part of major competitions, including the Olympics and the World Athletics Championships, where athletes strive to break these long-standing records.
