Women Triple Jump - History

World Record: Inessa Kravets, Ukraine 29 15.50m WC Gottebotg, Sweden 10th August 1995

Lebedeva made up for her fourth place in Seville with a crushing victory, which was sealed with her first-round effort of 15.11. By the halfway point Olympic Champion Marinova was second (14.58) and Martínez – a Cuban adopted by Italy – third on 14.52.
The Russian followed her big jump with 14.93 and three fouls. In the final round, Mbango leapt 14.60 and rose to second spot. Marinova responded with 14.57, then it was up to Lebedeva to finish the contest in the knowledge that she was the champion. She hit the board perfectly to hop 5.52, step 4.21 and jump 5.52 for a total distance of 15.25, the third-longest ever and arguably the greatest of all the women’s performances in Edmonton.
In her celebration she almost tripped on a cable when rushing to meet her coach. Afterwards, she paid special thanks to the crowd and joked that the attempt at dying her hair in the three colours of the Russian flag had not worked as her natural hair colour was too dark.
