The first world record in the men's triple jump was recognized by the International Association of Athletics Federations in 1912. That inaugural record was the 15.52 m performance by Dan Ahearn in 1911. [1]

As of June 21, 2009, 27 world records have been ratified by the IAAF in the event. [1] The men's triple jump world record is unusual in that on five occasions a new record has been set and then broken again on the same day.

Women's triple jump progression controversy

Inessa Kravets was found guilty of doping offenses in 1993, after her 1991 record and before setting her long-standing 1995 record. She was later banned for two years in 2000, leading many to doubt the legitimacy of her performance. [3] [4] [5]
