Talk:Triple jump

message: the development of triple jump in women.what do you know about this? statistics,records and history.
this jake fromer character is just some high school jumper - probably should be deleted
i know a little about teh development of women's TJ. I may write about it. I believe it was pushed in the NCAA and China which lead to its international acceptance.  There are records of it back to the 1920's
I believe that technically, a "missed jump" due to stepping over the foul line is a "foul", not a scratch.  "Scratch" is used to denote "scratching" out of the event due to other reasons, such as injury or no-show, etc.  People always use "scratch" out of habit, including myself, but in meets that are well officiated the term I always hear is "foul".
It would be nice to have the structure of competition. I'm watching the olympics and thought there would only be 3 tries, looks like there are more; 6?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.23.94.147 (talk) 13:48, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

message: I think someone should really rewrite this article to make it more like the one on the long jump. I can work a bit on the history part, and some of the technique part in the section can be put into a separate section.Juggertrout (talk) 18:54, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree -- I would be willing to help some on the technique part as well.Jumpcoach (talk) 06:18, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, I've begun a template for the intro and history section. I'm thinking of adding more history later, covering the first 17m, 18m jumps etc as well as the 1968 olypics. Do you want to add some stuff about technique? If you can find some good pictures, they would be nice too.Juggertrout (talk) 20:54, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Hi, the article mentions old olympians jumping 50ft. all other distances in the article are in meters. Most people who use the metric system are unable to do a quick comparison to imperial, and vice versa. I suggest you either change it to metric, or put in brackets (15m).
Just a thought.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Londonrob (talk • contribs) 17:37, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

message: I came here because I was curious about how the distance in the sand pit is measured. I suppose is it from where the back of the feet land but it seems to me that the sand splashes so much it's hard to even know where that is. How precisely is it measured given the nature of sand?

message: I saw that there were attempts in long jump and subsequent ban. Were there any such attempts in triple jump? Is somersault banned in triple jump? 213.149.61.252 (talk) 18:08, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

message: I noticed that there were no citations listed in the "Technique" section of this article. I would suggest creating citations for this section, as it would help a considerable amount with the articles reliability. Ripsych16 (talk) 05:54, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

replies: text: @Dweller, it would help if you could edit the page to explain it. The same format is used on many different athletics event pages, so my guess is that it was explained somewhere the first time it was used but not as much after that. --Habst (talk) 15:12, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
