Men's Triple Jump Final Atlanta Olympics 27-07-1996 

Right after Linford Christie got DQed for two false starts in the 100 too.

Yeah. Ouchhhhhhh. No matter how good you are, only getting two legal jumps is going to hurt

@@seprishere And right before Derek Redmond blew out his hamstring on the backstretch.

He's clearly still bothered by it, based on Diamond League press conferences that he moderates. Several references

@@tjmckenzie4048 That happened four years earlier

I thought he was really unlucky in this event. All the fouls were marginal. Despite he fouls probably the best series of consistent jumping ever. 17.88 would normally be good enough to win and ironically was longer than his Gold Medal winning jump in Sydney. Incredible jump from Harrison which I believe is the longest jump in history with a negative windspeed. I think the last two jumps by Edwards which but for marginal fouls were longer than 18.09.

​@@reggieberger1273did you clip from the stationery camera, I got 18.23

@@ebojfmdboojoh4023 18.29 was (his) WR.

I reckon they were just short. 18m plus but not 18.10

@@FleetAdmiral833 Nah he was close to the WR (if not literally on it) for the 5th, so well passed 18.09. That sign with the Globe there tells it. The the 6th he was about half way between 18.00 and 18.29. So arguably over 18.10, if you look at a physical ruler in your hand.
