World Record Triple Jump Breakdown | Jonathan Edwards Triple Jump

[@LEE_MASON_]

Perfectly framed jumper to perfect the double arm shift which became part of mainstream coaching in the early 90's. First jumper to perfect it. Technically brilliant.

[@FitzElda]

The wind assisted jump he done a month before this in France was absolute perfection, well worth a look.

[@Ok_Igwe]

What foot exercises would you recommend for triple jumpers?

[@IanBlimey]

The best part for me is that no one could look at him and think Steroids/PED's. Not tight, normal water retention, normal pores, fresh face, no protruding jaw muscles. Basically a normal looking guy.

Damn at first I thought I was listening to Vince Vaughn!!

[@Performancelabofcalifornia]

Jay Vee I don’t feel like I sound like Vince Vaughn but thank you?

[@PomBare]

Good video analysis! Only thing is, this is his first round jump of 18.16 the second jump was 18.29 and even more perfect.

Edwards was a low 10sec 100m runner ?

[@georgec2894]

Hawaiian Prestige Cars Think he did a hand-timed 10.6, so was probably capable of a good 10.4-10.5 minimum. Useful over 60m too I’d imagine

[@VeridicusMaximus]

He had an official 10.48 100m but was faster than that according to those who trained around him. Probably not faster than 10.2. He was also very powerful for his size.

[@georgec2894]

Veridicus Maximus Good info. Yes, power to weight was exceptional, which lead to big gym PRs in squat and similar.

[@VeridicusMaximus]

@@georgec2894 Yes, that power to weight ratio and his speed/control is something marvelous. It is going to take one hell of a person to break that WR. He was capable of 18.50 but never quite got all the little breaks. His 18.43 / 2.4 wind was evident of this.
