Summary

Coming in to the Championships Yulimar Rojas held all the credentials, World Record, Check. Olympic Champion, Check. Defending Champion, Check and Double Check. World Leader, yes but in her two outings for the season, she nor anybody else had broken 15 metres. Could there be weakness?

After jumping 14.60m in the first round, Rojas found herself in an unfamiliar second place behind a 14.89m new world leader from returning two time silver medalist Shanieka Ricketts. As the second jumper, in the second round Rojas settled it. 15.47 m (50 ft 9 in) has only been bettered by one other person in history (that was the Championship Record by Inessa Kravets in 1995). With first place virtually settled, the remaining athletes had to look at the other medals. Tori Franklin's first round 14.53m was third place until Leyanis Pérez jumped 14.70m to move up. The marks from Ricketts and Pérez held up until Franklin jumped 14.72m in the fifth round to finally claim bronze. To finish things off, Rojas jumped 15.39m on the final jump of the competition, only the #9 jump in history.

The triple jump, sometimes referred to as the hop, step and jump or the hop, skip and jump, is a track and field event, similar to long jump. As a group, the two events are referred to as the "horizontal jumps". The competitor runs down the track and performs a hop, a bound and then a jump into the sand pit. The triple jump was inspired by the ancient Olympic Games and has been a modern Olympics event since the Games' inception in 1896.
