Jonathan Edwards undisputed GOAT of the Triple Jump event 🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@Too_Toxiic]

A legend of the golden era.

[@CryogenicFire]

Such a lovely guy

[@k11vin]

I remember watching this clearly in 1995, i was in hospital in Germany and watched the whole conpetition, what an athlete. I dont anyone realises how technical this event is, this was just peak prime perfect performance. Incredible speed, strength and technique in combination, a once in a lifetime moment. And what a gentlemen. salute

Espetacular surreal fenomenal nao existe palavras elogios como estes

[@airescampelo5401]

Melhores do que estes ratificando obrigado.

[@djxcel23]

With the advances in technology Im really surprised no one has come close to breaking it.. it was the perfect jump

[@Ok_Igwe]

Christian Taylor is 8cm from it

[@djxcel23]

@@Ok_Igwe you know what your right.. but just have to state he wont get that close again. He is past his prime,

[@gotheDLsummertour]

Still remember the 18.43 he did earlier that season, wasn't much above 2m/s. His hop landing so great, hardly loses any speed. Legend!

[@drmal]

Yes, if he'd been further on the board he'd have almost hopped into the pit!

[@valeriypassechnikov5458]

this is the professor and even more of the genius of the triple jump, to watch and see it is simply crazier

[@liamfleming7917]

I had the pleasure of witnessed it al in the stadium l. MY HERO JONATHAN EDWARDS

[@sparkshot289]

There is just no wasted motion in his jumps

[@TheIkaraCult]

I will never forget this moment when i was a boy, he flew like Michael Jordan.

[@martintrevor9936]

27years on still holds the record,that's a record in itself.👍

[@PaulEnglish-cq4ms]

29 years now!😮

[@badabing8884]

30 next year.

[@davidramirez4810]

My all-time favorite field athlete.

[@Johnrap]

I guess this was taped before Kevin Young's 400 Hurdles record was broken.

[@jakkeday1]

So fast & so great technically!

[@pepelopezcrecimientopersonal]

Jonathan Edwards is the kind of athlete, of human being, taht doesn´t matter which country is from. I think all athletics fans from around the world we love him and were really excited that magical day of two sublime world records, a treasure for sport Mr. Edwards, undoubtully.

[@CarsUnlimited]

Ive watched that jump countless times, its mesmerising to watch, looks effortless like he was filled with helium 😂

[@FitzElda]

The 18:43 jump was the greatest jump in my opinion, absolute perfection

[@badabing8884]

Mike Powell’s 8.95m and this one are two still standing. Both incredible jumps.

[@Ian_Burgess]

This brings back so many fond memories, commentary was brilliant too

[@nikeswoosh7575]

What a candid and interesting interview, long may his record stand the test of time. A truly remarkable athlete !!!

[@A17Sports]

Main bhi apne desh ke liye kuch kar dilaunga.

[@dewylee6441]

The legend!

[@jeanettehinds4253]

I've always appreciated his excellence, because in the UK they are a rare breed.

[@APBCTechnique]

Amazing 😻

[@МаринаКрасина-б7ю]

Великий прыгун!!!

[@peters6119]

All of us who were competitive athletes can relate to that feeling at the time you were in the best shape of your life and knew you were and then looking back decades later in disbelief at what you did when you were younger. But to be the best ever in the world like he was and to hear him describe his disbelief that he did it was very interesting. He is such a thoughtful athlete. You will find that most people who set world records in athletics are also very intelligent about their sport and their event. I've always admired Edwards and he was one of my all time favourites because he was a 5'10" 160 lb. jumper and I was almost exactly the same size as he was and was also doing LJ/TJ. It was so awesome to think that you didn't have to be 6'2" to be successful at the TJ.

[@Y4wN_]

Thank you for sharing this. Such an inspiration!!

[@babyblu5590]

Looking better than you did. Great job!

[@mduduzigama5534]

It is always fascinating to hear athletes tell their stories.

[@ab8jeh]

Why the terrible music!?

[@Z00Maddict]

This is great to listen to. What a legend. Never get tired of watching these jumps.

[@evilzzzability]

I think he went again just to prove the first time was no fluke :D

[@A17Sports]

Mera aapse vada hai Jonathan sir.

[@stumbling]

Why did he never do long jump?

[@adampearson823]

Legend. Pure poetry in motion 👌

[@RichardIILionheart]

Edwards was not physically imposing, but he was fast on the runway and so very fluid in his jumping technique, with each phase transitioning into the next such that his triple jump looked more like one jump in three parts rather than three consecutive but only loosely connected jumps. Rarely did he sit back into the sand, perhaps because translated more of his horizontal speed into horizontal distance rather than vertical height.

[@oddsandwindsocks5905]

I remember watching TV with Jonathan being catapulted to legend status. 29 yrs later it's still miles ahead of any one since , just shows how amazing his jump is . And then won gold in the Olympics, perfect

[@bertoyardie8731]

I love the triple jump, for me it’s the most technical and aesthetically pleasing event to view. Jonathan Edwards was made for the triple trump. Perfect physique, slender, speedy, wirey. Hope young Hibbert can test the WR, gonna require a perfect storm to beat it. I am a huge fan of JE 🙌🏽💫

[@minhtam6820]

Người nhảy xa nhất hành tinh là đây,, nếu ko tính đến thành tích 18,43m đầu mùa giải năm ấy,

11cm to spare on the board lol

[@scottsaunders5087]

Will he still have the record in a years time when it will be 30 years 😮 I hope so

[@RichardIILionheart]

There are several really talented triple jumpers competing today, and they have a chance at >18.29, but if I were betting on it, I would say Edwards will still be WR holder when the calendar turns to 2026.

[@hertor8803]

​@@RichardIILionheartDiaz has jumped 18.18 and is only 23. I think the record will probably go to him some time in the next couple of years...but you always need a bit of luck.
