Triple Jump Trailblazers tells the fascinating history of the triple jump and how this most unique of track and field disciplines catapulted into being a staple of the Olympics athletics programme that remains today. It plots the chronology of human progress through the early days of amateur athletics to the professionalism that has excelled distances beyond what was once thought possible, through iconic sporting heroes whose incredible stories give tremendous insight beyond the distances and the medals. In addition to the amazing stories, Triple Jump Trailblazers is a statistician's dream - not only recounting the progress of performance, but also tracking how and why key events took place! Plus, for the first time, triple jumpers through history (male and female) are ranked using the newly developed Harvey-Benns Method to explain who really is the greatest triple jumper to have ever lived!
