Jonathon eds technique is text book and will never be beaten.

[@lanpingpug]

Every time Jonathan Edwards did really well, he always looked a bit surprised that he had managed to do it.

[@stevegeorge6880]

Great video. Saneyev should be higher. Three Olympic golds and a silver just shy of age 35 is unbelievable, and that's on top of the world championships and World Records.

[@bungardr]

Some recency bias, I believe.

[@stevegeorge6880]

@@bungardr and I wouldn't complain much except that his resume is such that it should compare with other athletes who are synonymous with their event. Al Oerter is the discus. Sergey Bubka is the pole vault. And Saneyev was so good for so long that he should be considered the triple jump.

[@scottsaunders5087]

Thanks for these too tens love them. Johnathons world record jumps give me goose bumps every time!

[@lexsoft3969]

Thanks for including Joao de Oliviera at 16:03 in honorable mentions list. He is the most familiar name to me in early 80s because of his long standing WR.

[@guillaumelecam6257]

Really something special in the top 10 video Galaxy. You takes time to explain conditions and compétition distilating some annecdotes troughout thé footages, you're uploading not one but several jumps from every athletes with such beautiful music background. Just thanks and keep working to preserve that quality.

[@glennjonsson1819]

Christian Ohlsson never reached 18 but he certainly won a fair amount of titles.

[@jakoblindstam2367]

Glenn Jonsson hi did indoors

[@glennjonsson1819]

Did he? 17,92 in Gateshead is the longest I can detect.

[@BIGSAM-O-A]

It would've nice to seem him in the list as Edwards' successor

[@thehoogard]

@@BIGSAM-O-A I think he more or less quit after the olympic gold in 2004. There was nothing left to win, no one to beat. Would have been amazing to see him have to fight more. Maybe if there had been someone to compete with they could have catapulted eachother to higher performances.

[@UpsetNerd]

@@thehoogard He actually injured his foot slightly in the 2004 final and he then struggled with injuries for the rest of his career.

[@Hoppy71267]

Thank you for the music :-)

[@mikedowns8293]

Great Video, well put together.

[@konotoasita]

Great video and music, thanks!

[@eltonalonsopompeu615]

João Carlos de Oliveira should be top 10. Four times pan-american Champion. Three times world champion. World record holder for nearly ten years. Two olympic medals (one should be the gold medal in Moscow but he was robbed to the benefit of the soviets). He is top 10 for sure, maybe even top five.

[@michalewandowski7541]

very nice video. But You should put Schmidt to top 10 because he jumped first in history 17 m!( was no modern track), and 2x olympic champion :) anyway, great job ! :D

[@Nodrodsky]

My record is 42.5 metres......It was off a cliff though.

[@melvyns1975]

Some great clips there

[@Piero960]

Very very good video!

[@wtzarcher]

So sad for Teddy Tamgho, he clearly had the potential to beat the WR... Many bad injuries stopped him, and he past the planch too many times when he easily past the 18m by far, so he had to retain himself...

[@trapkat8213]

Did Christian Taylor really remodel his technique halfway through his career, changing the roles of left- and right foot? That is insane.

[@shanjones4869]

I was there Jonathan in Gothenburg ! I’ll Never forget it 🌺

[@eb5857]

Nice video

[@victorflahs9082]

good video

[@yourstruly4316]

Jozef Schimd, two times Olympic champion. First yo break the magic 17 meters. Nice collection, but you are missing this one badly. Thanks!

[@donovanyoung9996]

Well actually Will Claye has to make the list now which would push Schmid out of the top 10. But still a great jumper.

[@jamalsaleh6551]

Hi Antonin. At 12:08, I think you meant it was 11 cm longer than his former record, not 11 ft. It cant be that his former best was 15 meters if he now jumps 18. Probably his former best was 17.85 and he now jumped 17.96 (i.e. +11 cm). Correct? Regardless, excellent video.

[@pauloliver1842]

clean living

[@anthonysawyer1951]

Oliviera was the greatest. Without a doubt. In my opinion.

[@robertnevillecollins1559]

I trained with him once, Gateshead stadium was being refurbished, great guy ,I was only 15 or 16 ,he came to Monkton stadium ,Jarrow and Hebburn athletic.........legend...,...not sure but think Steve Cram ...also

[@alh.3025]

@ 12:10 is that a typo? 11ft further? because that would be 47'11, but he jumped in the mid 50's in college so that couldn't be right I assume.

[@donovanyoung9996]

Yeah 11 inches

[@paulfhoffman]

I believe Adhemar da Silva also played the part of the Devil in the legendary film Black Orpheus.

[@mikedowns8293]

S. Americans....... Cubans and Brazilians too, produced some World Class Triple Jumpers.

[@StarzzyJJASD]

But the best is british

[@NPA1001]

The World Record of 18:29 will probably go at some point, but I doubt that 18:49 wind assisted leap will ever be beaten.

[@benoitleleu7840]

Tamgho was the furthest with the most perfectible technique throughout all these guys

[@MotionAthlete]

I agree the full potential of this man has not been explored yet :,(

[@lexsoft3969]

3:51-3:55 Yeah. I am more familiar with what he did during that moment than his jump.

[@Ronilac]

What about Józef Szmidt, twice (1960 and 1964) olympic champion, who first reached over 17 meters (17,03), who's record stood over 8 years...?

[@MotionAthlete]

I hesitated for a long time, but the Triple Jump event has become so dense in champions, and I try my best to honour every legend of it, even though sometimes I miss some of them... That's why comment like yours are valuable, because it helps remembering every deserving athlete of the last decades ! Thank you !

[@howey935]

18:43 wind assisted by Johnathon Edwards.

[@Mk1Male]

We all know that which is why it wasn't a world record but it stood as a legitimate jump in a championship, hence why it is a jump which will never be beaten for a long, long time.

[@randomvintagefilm273]

01:05 that guy reminds me of Spider Man the way he jumps!

[@dabadc]

1:00 Never knew Wierd Al Yankovic was a triple jumper!

[@llatani6295]

Pedro Pablo Pichardo the nicest technique (18.08 mts unforgettable)

[@couch.patati-patata]

Viktor Sanaev, Joao Oliviera

[@lexsoft3969]

Joao de Oliviera was familiar to me back then in early 80s, because he was the WR holder.

[@alh.3025]

[@EnjauladorDeMigranteS]

Jonathan es el mejor por la eternidad...🔝 pero mi favorito siempre será 4P [ Pedro Pablo Pichardo Peralta]🎉💢

[@giorgiobrugaletta2878]

I think Taylor and Edwards are now on the same line. Joao Carlos De Oliveira had to be mentioned since he was THE greatest triple jump talent ever! The first triple jumper beyond the magical limit of 18 meters; only soviet judges stopped him!

[@pr-tj5by]

Edwards is No1

[@SparkThaMetal]

Does Taylor have the WR? No. Then they aint the same lmao

[@Chattannooga]

Edwards' line is ahead of taylor's

[@lexsoft3969]

Kristo Markov.... I think I totally forgot this name, world champion in 1987 and 1988 Olympic gold medalist.

[@Kongkingkeng]

Jonathan is hot daddy. He aged like wine

[@CristianoRonaldo69332]

I do athletics, my personal best is unknown for triple jump because the minimum age to do it is U11. (I'm U10)

[@hippito77]

How are Banks and Markov so low? Not seen it all the way through yet, so assume a fellow Limey is no. 1. Both in the tip five for me..

Jonathan edwards

[@janipihlajamaki84]

Marouane Fellaini in 1.28? :D

[@wp4872]

I dont really get triple jump. Its like long jump but you are risking to more injury. The triple jump in the beginning just throws off your momentum making shorter jumps.

[@timmy4312]

Its three jumps so obviously it throws off the momentum

[@primaco1898]

Where is Nelson Évora???

[@edoero9729]

I am surprised Pedro Pichardo is not mentioned here. He has the third highest jump in TJ history I think?

Sorry, it was a mistake ! I meant 11 inches...

[@BaoloCEO]

@@MotionAthlete a little different

[@lexsoft3969]

4:40 Willie Banks beat previous WR which belonged to Joao de Oliviera of Brazil (17.89m) that stood for more than 9 years.

[@SparkThaMetal]

Jonathon Edwards smashed willi banks by miles and it has stood for last 25 years

[@Chattannooga]

1cm

[@hippito77]

As a Limey waiting for Edwards to be no. 1, Markov at 9 and Banks at 7? Both top 5, indisputably.

[@tdtmd03]

Jonathan Edwards jump at 2002 Commonwealth game could have exceeded the world record( not sure what the wind condition was). he was very long after his second phase which is not usually the case, but his final jump was awful. He left so much momentum that he popped out of the pit. Christian Taylor 18.21 jump was so poetic. I think he can still break Edwards' WR.

João Carlos de Oliveira was stolen by Rússia un Moscow 1980 Olimpics. You are a big comedy.

[@lexsoft3969]

His WR 17.89 stood for more than 9 years since 1975, before Willie Banks broke it. The most familiar name to me in early 80s because of his WR.

[@Jabber-ig3iw]

No mention of Edwards WR still standing? Really?

[@SparkThaMetal]

MAn im really dissapointed with your segment on Edwards. You make out his WR is only 1cm ahead. Its miles ahead , not 1cm! He subesquently smashed that one on the next jump, which you showed but didnt show any subtitles updating the audience as to the new Wr of the 2nd jump which is way over 1cm improved on willies. Please add in some subs or something at that point to properly illustrate that great record which stil stnds o this day.

[@malligrub]

Nice vid, but you mentioned that Taylor's 17.96 was 11 FEET (+3.3m) better than his previous best!!!! I assume this was meant to be 11 inches😜

[@kubaboguszewski8815]

[@imposterofthevent2850]

why number 1 looks like the dude from game of thrones?

[@borisgorski7574]

I think, it is beter to alert, that this ranking is not exhaustive and was made in a subjective way. Because, for example, the Christo Markov's technique is absolutelly the best ever! Moreover, he won Continental, World and Olimpic titles consequtive one after each, and set European reccord 17.92 in 1987. He has also 3 jumps over 18 metres, but with small fouls.

[@lexsoft3969]

If the author made the ranking based on distance only, why did he put Adhemar da Silva in this top 10 list ? The Brazilian could only reach 16.56m. Other Brazilians like Joao de Oliviera did much better with 17.89m in 1975, making him WR holder for more than 9 years, before Willie Banks broke it in 1985.

[@donovanyoung9996]

If were being honest, Taylor should #1 now. He won 4 WC and 2 Olympics. He jumped 18m 5 times while Edwards only did it twice legally. He also managed to win the WC, Olympics and at least 17.96 off his left and right leg which no one has ever come close to doing. He may not own the WR but he checks off every other box.

[@Zandohaha]

I sense a salty American. Give credit where it's due my friend. Christian Taylor was amazing, but he didn't quite beat Jonathan Edwards record. And as the video says, the two wind assisted jumps of Edwards in 1995 are the longest ever. Never been beaten. His legal jump in 1995, never been beaten. Still came back to win the Olympics 5 years later too. Had Taylor broke the world record, he'd go to number one. But he didn't. So he doesn't. Two amazing athletes. One jumped further than the other and that's why one of them is number two and the other is number one.

[@donovanyoung9996]

@@Zandohaha You need more than just the world record to be the best. Carl Lewis is considered the best long jumper and he doesn't hold the world record. Same for Taylor, he is the undisputed king of consistency, losing only 1 out of 7 at a major championship and managing to break the 18m barrier more times than anybody else in history. The fact that he won the WC and Olympics of his left AND right leg is unheard of. Plus we shouldn't count Edward's legal jumps, the wind was more than 2x the allowable which is wayy too much. If you look overall, it's clear Taylor is the best.

Taylor jumped 18m 5 times but Edwards only did so twice legally is factually incorrect. According to Wikipedia, they've both jumped 18m or more 4 times a piece.

[@Mk1Male]

@@donovanyoung9996 _"Plus we shouldn't count Edward's legal jumps, the wind was more than 2x the allowable which is wayy too much."_ You really need to learn what you are discussing before posting drivel. Edward's *legal* jump still stands as a world record. His championship record jump of 18.43 still stands but is not legal for the world record because the wind was 2.4m/s. That's only 0.4m/s over the limit...hardly way too much.
