The men's triple jump at the 2022 World Athletics Championships was held at the Hayward Field in Eugene on 21 and 23 July 2022.[1]

Summary

[edit]

With 17.05m the automatic qualifier, only two jumpers made it on their first attempt, Olympic Gold Medalist Pedro Pichardo and Olympic Silver Medalist Zhu Yaming. Returning bronze medalist Hugues Fabrice Zango and Lázaro Martínez made on their second attempt, Emmanuel Ihemeje, only 2 cm on his first attempt, finally got one on his third. It took 16.68m to get into the final, eliminating defending champion Christian Taylor who is still on the road to recovery from a 2021 achilles rupture.[2]

As the second jumper in the final, Pichardo set a new world leader at 17.95 m (58 ft 10+12 in). Only two other people in the competition had ever jumped that far, none of the others had been within a foot (30cm). Three jumpers later, Zango popped 17.55m. The next jumper, Donald Scott moved into bronze position with a 17.14m which lasted only two jumps when Andrea Dallavalle hit a 17.25m. At the beginning of the second round, Pichardo confirmed his position with a 17.92m, then Zhu moved into the bronze medal position with a 17.31m. The results were set. Save a 6th round 17.17m from Ihemeje, nobody in the top 6 improved their position. Returning two time silver medalist Will Claye struggled with his marks and Martínez couldn't land a fair jump. Neither were able to qualify for three more attempts.
