Note: The Men's Triple Jump final at the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City was actually probably the greatest Triple Jump competition ever, as we saw 5 men exceed the previous world record at the time (some wind-aided). But I stuck with the modern era focusing on competitions with 18m jumps in this case
Note : In this competition the triple jump world record was broken a total of 5 times by 3 different jumpers including once in the qualifying round also Mexico City is at high altitude which is an advantage for the jumping and sprinting events but even so probably the greatest triple jump competition of all time.
While watching this competition I was already imagining The Final Leg's video on such a high level triple jump feast! So hyped this event feels like it's really back!
...and interesting many of the best competitions of all time have just two guys duking it out, when it feels like this year we can get around 4 guys jumping 17.8m+ in one comp. I think that real breakout comp with 3-4 guys in and around 18m is coming soon!
@@georgec2894 Yea i was wild in the moment just watching the results each round! But your right, for the most part it has always been 2 guys going back and forth. In 2013, Christian Taylor was injured in Moscow, In 2015, Will Claye was injured in Beijing, while in 2016-2019 Pichardo was injured, so there was never a true 3 competition. But We may finally see it this year!
Great analysis, Anderson! As an ex (and mediocre) triple jumper, I think that Jaydon Hibbert will develop into something completely different. His elasticity, technique and form look unreal, cartoonish, CGI generated. If he doesn't get injured, he will make 18:50 look like a walk in the park.
Thanks and Agreed that Hibbet will go crazy as well. If anything, this may motivate him to be even more ready for Paris! We might see something nice at Jamaican Trials!
@@travelwithsere Yea, thanks, I know. Thought he might surprise us at Paris, but it is unlikely, considering the complicated technical adaptations he will have to master in such short time.
Sad Rojas won’t be there in Paris but it looks like the men are stepping up for what looks like will be an amazing competition in Paris. Both the men and women will need to be on their A game and likely PR to get on the Olympic podium.
I think one of the most noteable points is that they were both jumping into a head wind for almost the entire competition, including the longest jumps.
Did anybody notice that the runway and pith were built on a platform 6 feet above the track level. I don't know why the organizers did this. It is the first time I've seen this in an outdoor competition, but it is frequent indoor. Everybody knows it gives off a beneficial bounce to the athletes : two jumpers over 18m and the bronze medalist significantly improving is PB is proof. That simple. Should not have been allowed.
It definitely helps, but is of course not illegal. The women's triple jump at Euros was not out of this world, same with the women's Long jump. But I would be lying if it didn't give a bit extra, similar to how certain tracks may be more beneficial. But I am interested in know the difference between the raised runway here in Rome vs something like at the Randall Tyson Center indoors at Arkansas which is slightly raised.
Suspect that the raised platform helped here, this was not held on a normal athletics track unlike the previous competitions - extra bounce would have helped the unbelievable results achieved
@@TheFinalLeg yeah that’s what i meant, started with a the first group of athletes like Orlando portage leaving after 2017. They have been dropping the ball like crazy
Me 2! I’ve been a T and F fan since I was a kid, but not until those 2 did I really get pumped up for the event. And as a Gator fan, their achievements were that much sweeter.
Both of these men are Cuban and it's so sad that they had to represent other countries in order to get better financial gain. But congratulations on them making history!
I think the issues they have had with their federation is more political than financial. Not 100% sure but remember some weird stories when Pichardo switched
Quick s/o Britton Wilson whose season is basically over, look forward to seeing her back @100% next yr! Cuba is without a shadow of a doubt in terms of population size & resources the most impressive country in the sport's history when it comes to consistently producing world-class Jumpers & Throwers; Sotomayor, Moya, Pichardo, Diaz Fortun, Pedroso, Echevarria, Copello, Borges, Olisdeilys Menendez, Yarisley Silva, Aldama, Savigne, Yaime Perez, Bisset, Costa, Marten, Caballero, Perez Hernandez, Povea, Quintero & many more! Pichardo vs Diaz Fortun vs Hibbert vs Zango 🔥🔥🔥 Got social media beef now between Pichardo/Diaz Fortun, be amazing if all this rivalry causes Andy Diaz Hernandez (17.75m PB) & Lazaro Martinez (17.67m PB) to also raise their game 🤞
Yea I have some research done already and will eventually get a video out on why Cuba keeps losing its talent to other countries. It's not surprising, but disappointing that they have an insane amount of talent when you consider athletes across the board in the field events. But yea I'm hype for Paris already and this beef online is hilarious, but I love it! You never see triple jumpers going at it like this haha
@@TheFinalLeg Men's LJ & TJ are in great shape heading into Paris following this wkend. Women's LJ looks good with Mihambo jumping 7.03m (-1.3) vs TDW's multiple 7m+ jumps this yr. Ana Peleteiro-Compaore with her 14.85 (-0.5) win in the TJ should hopefully ensure some 15m jumps in Paris vs the likes of Perez Hernandez, LaFond, Ricketts & Bekh-Romanchuk 🤞
@@AllInTheGame01 Bekh-Romanchuk, unfortunately, picked up an injury in training recently and is recovering. Had to skip out on Euros and is still recovering, but hoping he gets healthy to be back in the mix!
@@khumokwezimashapa2245 👍 Yeah looks like the stress fractures in both legs from running so many 400m/400mH races last yr still haven't fully healed, so makes sense to just sit the season out & come back strong for the WC next yr! Saw that South Carolina Freshman Phenom JaMeesia Ford recently entered into both 200/400m @US Trials instead of just the 200m as both events are a wk apart in the schedule, so wonder if others like Gabby & Abby will do the same if as expected the 400m doesn't have both Britton & Syd in it @Trials, or will they both play it safe with running just the 200m?!
The competition was a farce and the jumps shouldn’t stand as records. The runway was on boards, not on firm ground. You can hear the hollow surface as they run on it. I don’t understand how everyone is getting so hyped. They won’t get near this in Paris unless they plan on having a gymnastics floor again for the competition. This shows how much of a joke aport Athletics is, zero accountability, zero expert analysis, just so sad.

@@wilhelmw3455 Correct, I will also admit, along with altitude, its interesting because many of the jumps apparently had perfect 2.0 winds. But yea
Update petrado is calling bs on the jump on Instagram lmfaooo

@@TheFinalLeg Yes, perhaps 16 steps run up?
@@trogpo at Racers Grand Prix - Hibby did 12 steps run up when he broke the Triple Jump record.
@@travelwithsere Yea, thanks, I know. Thought he might surprise us at Paris, but it is unlikely, considering the complicated technical adaptations he will have to master in such short time.
@@trogpo never count out a Jamaican... chuo.
I have a suspicion they benefited from the fact it was on a raised platform which may have helped spring them to greater distances.
I saw these go back and fourth was amazing
Your overall presentation is greatly appreciated
Another great breakdown 👏

Could you argue his 18.04 with a -0.6 wind is his most impressive jump considering he jumped the 18.08 with no wind
Yup, by far his best jump when converted for wind (his 18.06 jump was with +0.8)
@TheFinalLeg Interested in your take on the raised runway in this competition. Help or hindrance?
It definitely helps, but is of course not illegal. The women's triple jump at Euros was not out of this world, same with the women's Long jump. But I would be lying if it didn't give a bit extra, similar to how certain tracks may be more beneficial. But I am interested in know the difference between the raised runway here in Rome vs something like at the Randall Tyson Center indoors at Arkansas which is slightly raised.
The world record is primed to go this year. These guys can push each other to go beyond the world record
I hope Teddy Tamgho will manage his come back and join the party in Paris
Suspect that the raised platform helped here, this was not held on a normal athletics track unlike the previous competitions - extra bounce would have helped the unbelievable results achieved
Jamaicans thought Hibbert would have it all his way looking like he might be battling for bronxe.
You are going to have heart failure when Jaydon win gold and break the world record in paris
shoutout to Cuba for dropping the ball, two cubans winning eruopean medals lmfaoo
haha yea, Cuba has lost TONS of jumpers and throwers (even sprinters) year after year. Its unfortunate, but it is what it is
@@TheFinalLeg yeah that’s what i meant, started with a the first group of athletes like Orlando portage leaving after 2017. They have been dropping the ball like crazy
@@MrHurdleking24 Ye I've noticed that. I think Yasmani Copello was also Cuban if I'm not mistaken.
@@khumokwezimashapa2245also high hurdler Orlando Ortega
@@nicolecooper1569 Oh yes him too. I think 2015 is the last season he competed for Cuba
I miss the dominance and rivalry of Will and Christian. Their head to head competitions were always so enjoyable to watch.
Completely agree, thats what made me fall in love with the triple jump, when they started going back and forth during their time at Florida!
Me 2! I’ve been a T and F fan since I was a kid, but not until those 2 did I really get pumped up for the event. And as a Gator fan, their achievements were that much sweeter.

This was crazy
I'm glad that they didn't get the world record and I hope they don't ever hold a long jump or triple jump meet on bouncy boards like here.
where is the tentoglou video:?
Haha a long jump video will come at some point. Takes time to look into these things!
And Furlani's 8.38m WJR - Having two 19yr old Phenoms in Furlani (LJ) & Hibbert (TJ) at the same time is amazing!!!
