Q: Who invented the triple jump?

A: The original triple jump (as practiced by the Greeks) was simply 3 long jumps. Then, the Celts made it a continuous jump... but it wasn't until after 1900 that it took on its current hop-step-jump format (with the hop and step on the same foot).

Why are the first two phases performed using the same leg? I have no idea... and I was not able to find a good answer to this question... although this forum discussion was somewhat interesting!

... did I mention that the triple jump is the BEST field event?!?
