The triple jump was inspired by the ancient OlympicGames and has been a modern Olympics event since the Games' inception in 1896.According to IAAU rules, "the hop shall be made so that an athlete lands first on the same foot as that from which he has taken off; in the step he shall land on the other foot, from which, subsequently, the jump is performed." The current male and female world record holders are Jonathan Edwards of Great Britain, with a jump of 18.29 m (60 ft 0 in), and InessKravetz of Ukraine, with a jump of 15.50 m (50 ft 10 in).

What are the best long jump spikes?
Every track surface has its own optimum spike length. Current all weather tracks (rubberized) are built for best results with short (1/4" or 8mm} spikes and will not allow athletes to use longer spikes that will damage the expensive rubber surface. On wooden tracks a shorter spike might be advisable (so it doesn't get stuck in the wood, slowing the athlete). On a dirt track, much longer spikes will work better though it still depends on the kind of dirt surface. A clay surface might still suggest a shorter spike than a more granulated or rocky kind of surface.
