History of the Triple Jump
The original triple jump as practised by the Greeks was no more than three long jumps one after another.

The Celts invented a style of three jumps in a continuous action and this was regulated at the end of the 19th century, first by the Irish and then by the Americans.

Originally a hop-hop-jump, with the first two hops taken from the same foot, the triple jump became the hop-step-jump after 1900.
