The triple jump is an athletic event where athletes take three consecutive jumps to cover the longest distance possible. It originated in ancient Greece as a mistake during long jump measurements that inspired the creation of a new three-jump sport. To perform the triple jump, athletes must run and take off from one leg, land on the same leg, then jump again and switch legs for the final jump before landing in the sand pit. Competitors receive six attempts to improve their furthest distance in competitions.
