[0:00] The triple jump is an athletics event made of four phases: approach, take-off, flight and landing.
[0:45] During the approach the athlete sprints to build speed, then plants one foot on the take-off board.
[1:25] The flight has three parts in order: the hop landing on the same foot, the step onto the other foot, and the jump into the sand pit.
[2:10] Long-distance races test endurance over distances like 5,000 metres, 10,000 metres, the half marathon and the marathon.
