Great Britain's Jonathan Edwards is the current men's world record holder in the triple jump. His jump of 18.29 metres (meters) in 1995 is the current world record. He also has a jump of 18.43 metres (meters) which was not in the record book because of a strong tailwind. Ukraine's Inessa Kravets is the current women's world record holder in the triple jump. Her jump of 15.50 metres (meters) in 1995 is the current world record. Indoors: France's Teddy Tamgho is the current men's indoor world record holder in the triple jump.
The long jump world record progression, therefore, begins around the turn of the 20th century. The United States has dominated the long jump world record charts, and Americans such as Myer Prinstein and Alvin Kraenzlein held generally recognized world records in the late 1890s. But the first long jump world record-holder recognized by the IAAF was Great Britainâs Peter OâConnor.
