The men's triple jump at the 2023 World Athletics Championships was held at the National Athletics Centre in Budapest on 19 and 21 August 2023.
Summary
[edit]With 17.15m the automatic qualifier, only 18 year old world leader Jaydon Hibbert was able to muster such a distance, his 17.70m far outdistanced that requirement.
Seven time world medalist, #3 of all time, Will Claye put out the first mark over 16.50m with a 16.71m. Two jumpers later, Hibbert came down the runway but aborted his jump after hitting the take off board. Something was not right. He went to seek medical treatment and would not return. Two more jumpers, returning silver medalist Hugues Fabrice Zango hit a 17.37m to take a big lead. Towards the end of the round, Fang Yaoqing jumped 16.89m, to move into second place, only to be displaced by Yasser Triki with a 16.96m. In the second round, Claye moved back into second place with a 16.99m. Then Lázaro Martínez flew into the lead with a 17.41m. Zhu Yaming moved onto the leader board with a 17.12m. There were no changes until the fourth round, when Cristian Nápoles tickled the lead with a 17.40m. At that point the leaders were separated by 4cm. Near the end of the fifth round, Zango broke that up with what turned out to be the winner 17.64 m (57 ft 10+1⁄4 in) as none of the leaders could improve enough with their final attempts.
As it turns out, Hibbert's preliminary round jump would have been enough to take gold. Instead he finished with no mark.
