Christian Taylor Wins Men's Triple Jump Gold - London 2012 Olympics

[@sytycdjtc]

If Fabrizio's jump phase was better, he would have won gold for sure because his hop and step phase are amazing

[@AthleticEducation]

So fabrizio step is crazy, if he could get that last phase like these other guys he would be over 18m I believe, just my opinion

[@TraXXXtar]

this is more dangerous than it seems, not just talking about the injury but also you just gotta have a perfect postural alignment so that nothing can go wrong internally either

[@Chukojc94]

Fabrizo's step has always been amazing, shame he can't come off it with a little more speed for his jump, would be world record contention

[@brandonb.288]

Fabrizio was 2 feet closer to the pit than claye or taylor going into phase 3. That is crazy!

Barbados! Proud Bajan! :)

[@nataliesnooks]

If you pause it at 0:36 you can see that Will Claye didn't stretch out his step a lot. If his step was bigger he could possibly have won the gold.

[@TXVR-ut6qw]

He got 17.75 in Rio which is better, but still only good enough for silver

[@timmytheinventor4746]

My heart goes out for Sands, triple jump hurts.

[@onyamark2210]

Will Claye!!

[@marcellin20a]

I tired this the other day and almost snapped my knees in half :)

[@Thermolizer]

I don't quite think 18m, but it's a similar story with Phillips Idowu.

[@rjgraddy11]

farizio couldve won, but lost so much speed at the end. he was too high. it wouldve been a world record though if he couldve controlled it.

[@mjf093]

you know??

[@jasminejohnston6393]

No guy staring at the referee holding up the red flag and going "Dammit" like that Mokoena guy did at the Beijing games!

[@TXVR-ut6qw]

?

[@flaming_eazy]

how do you need break your ankles doing this lol

[@macewindu789]

+ryebread710 if you get bad footing on takeoff. its actually quite common in tripe jump.

[@flaming_eazy]

+macewindu789 I meant to say not* instead of need. I can imagine lots of injuries lol

[@handlelesz]

Will Claye " You know ummm"

[@anjaliethomas801]

[@fraserpye9667]

fabrizos gotta be on an illicit substance

[@riccardogiovetti]

He's simply a legend

[@chrischendes]

I came cuz we share the same name

[@famefed01]

where is he from an american or a west indian so how come he can take part when he has family from both area of the world i am confused how people with sports capability are able to be part of a country he is initially not his esp when he is born not from the country he is taking part for, i can understand if he has been neutralised for a decade for the country he is not borned off and to countries cannot provide good living for the person to be part of the team nothing to gain so opt for other
