The world record for the triple jump [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_jump https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_jump] is just over 18 meters, so quite a bit further than a 10 foot pole.
- chihuahua 5y agoBut is a triple jump the same as a hop, skip and jump? It seems to me that a hop and a skip are each smaller than a jump.
- lmkg 5y agoThe triple-jump event is literally described as "a hop, skip, and jump." The three bounding motions are done in a sequence without breaking forward momentum, so "triple jump" is an accurate description of the combination, while "hop, skip and jump" is an accurate description of each of the three bounds individually.
