Talk:Triple jump
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
the development of triple jump in women.what do you know about this? statistics,records and history.
this jake fromer character is just some high school jumper - probably should be deleted
i know a little about teh development of women's TJ. I may write about it. I believe it was pushed in the NCAA and China which lead to its international acceptance. There are records of it back to the 1920's
I believe that technically, a "missed jump" due to stepping over the foul line is a "foul", not a scratch. "Scratch" is used to denote "scratching" out of the event due to other reasons, such as injury or no-show, etc. People always use "scratch" out of habit, including myself, but in meets that are well officiated the term I always hear is "foul".
