Triple Jump Quiz :

The triple jump is a track and field event that combines three distinct phases: the hop, step, and jump. It challenges an athlete’s speed, strength, and coordination.

The sequence begins with a running start, where the athlete aims to achieve maximum velocity. The first phase, the hop, involves jumping off one leg and landing on the same leg. Immediately upon landing, the athlete transitions into the step phase, where they leap off the same leg and land on the opposite leg. Finally, in the jump phase, the athlete jumps off the opposite leg and lands in a sandpit.

Athletes typically have three attempts in competition, with the best distance recorded for scoring. The overall distance is measured from the take-off line to the nearest mark made in the landing area. The triple jump requires not only explosive power but also precise technique and rhythm to maximize distance. It has been a part of the Olympic Games since 1896 for men and 1996 for women, showcasing remarkable athletic skill and coordination.
