The men's triple jump at the 2024 Summer Olympics was held in Paris, France, on 7 and 9 August 2024. This was the 30th time that the event was contested at the Summer Olympics.

Summary

The entire podium from Tokyo was back. Pedro Pichardo, Zhu Yaming and Hugues Fabrice Zango. The same three individuals were the podium in 2022 though Zango was silver. In 2023, Zango was the winner ahead of Lázaro Martínez and Cristian Nápoles. Earlier in the season Jordan Díaz popped an 18.18m in Rome, the #3 legal jump in history. Pichardo, dropped to #6, was the only other person over the magic 18 metre mark all year.

Almir dos Santos got things off with 16.41m. Zango upped that by a metre to 17.43m. Pichardo followed him with 17.79m, from the back of the take off board. Martínez moved into third at exactly 17 metres. Jaydon Hibbert then took over third with a 17.31m. It was four more jumps before Jordan Díaz took the lead, popping a 17.86 m (58 ft 7 in). A couple of jumpers later, Andy Díaz moved into third position with 17.63m. In the second round, Pichardo made things close jumping a 17.84m from the middle of the board, giving up 19 cm. Had he taken off from the front of the board, that would be a winner. Hibbert improved to 17.61m to tickle 3rd place but didn't get there. Pichardo continued to have trouble with his marks and couldn't make an improvement. Jaydon jumped 17.85 and 17.84 on his third and fourth jumps to confirm his position. Other than Andy adding a single cm on his final attempt, none of the leaders were able to improve or change position.

All three medalists were born in Cuba and had previously represented Cuba in international competition.

Background

The men's triple jump has been present on the Olympic athletics programme since the inaugural edition in 1896.
