Triple Jump: Track and field event
The triple jump (also known in certain countries as a triple hop, step and jump or hop, skip and jump) is a athletics event.
It has been a part of the World Championships since 1995. The event consists of someone running up to a line, jumping and landing on the same foot (a hop), jumping onto the other foot (a skip) and then jumping into a shallow pit of sand. The winner is the person whose final jump lands the farthest from the line they started jumping at. It is a common game played on playgrounds.
