@@naoufaltakroumt6373 I understand his point though, you see a lot of great Triple Jumpers, Harrison, Clay, Taylor, they are more powerful athletes, but they seem to stamp the ground with each step.

as a guy training for triple jump in the U.S.A this is true the triple jump here is taught towards the power aspect of being powerful enough to produce a lot of force into the ground instead of the floating aspect you're talking about you can mostly see it in the body physiques as well.@@Zandohaha

Absolute poetry in motion with the technique of a god

he was nearly in the sand pit after his first two phases, absolutely out of this world!

But it is not one jump. It is a hop, a skip and then a jump.

One thing I noticed that sets him apart is that he gets up to top speed but then relaxes as he jumps the first stage and balances out the energy for each phase. Whereas a lot of triple jumpers over exert the first 2 stages and the energy is drained for the final jump. His exertion is spread across each phase.

It's because he was one of the fastest men in the world over 40m on a track at this time, more speed equals less power needed on the jumps

In slow motion you see the pure perfection here. Incredible

He was majestic, like running in fast forward then he hits the slow motion button in those three steps and hangs for ever. If he nailed the board then it's a 18.50M jump here.

The speed that he carries through the three consecutive jumps is simply unfathomable. And he does it in a seemingly effortless manner. I don't there will ever be a triple jumper as good as Edwards, at least not in 50 years.

Add on the 20 cm he gave away on the board and well, 18.60+ with wind just 0.4 mps over the legal limit. Unbelievable.

Bryce Lambley I've never seen such a style, I would look into his trainers practice methods if I was training today. We had no internet when this occurred in 1995 :(

See how fast Edwards was running. Even though he wasn't a specialist sprinter, he had a very decent 100m time and was one of the fastest jumpers ever. That was part of the reason Edwards was such an amazing triple jumper. The same with Carl Lewis in the long jump.

For me JE at his best is beauty in movement. His speed and technical efficiency allows this beauty to b express. Freedom is another word for this outstanding athleticism.

The man was flying. Incredible display of speed and flawless technique.

I do have to chuckle at Jim's commentary at the end, "I've just been informed, that this is a new Gateshead Harriers record". No shit Sherlock, it's a new Planet Earth record too.

Ron P he trained with Linford and Frankie Fredericks and was faster than them both to 30m. His peak speed on the run up was equal to or faster than the top 100m sprinters. He could also clean and jerk 150kg. He was actually quite a lazy trainer and never ran more than 100m repeats in training. GB definitely missed out by not getting him to run more and at least put him on the 100m relay

Awesome jump...and the 7.02m jump phase in his 18.29m is just ridiculous...

Astonishing. He makes it look like a completely different event.

Tremendous speed once again, and he's.. OH MY GOODNESS, THAT IS HUGE!

And to be honest, watching it now I still am. Such a huge shame the wind wasn't 1.9 instead of 2.4!
