As of June 21, 2009, 27 world records have been ratified by the IAAF in the event.[2] The men's triple jump world record is unusual in that on five occasions a new record has been set and then broken again on the same day.

Women's triple jump progression controversy
[edit | edit source]Inessa Kravets was found guilty of doping offenses in 1993, after her 1991 record and before setting her long-standing 1995 record. She was later banned for two years in 2000, leading many to doubt the legitimacy of her performance.[5][6][7]
