THE SCRAPE FOUL - Unbanned Triple Jump Technique

Before the 1980’s, there was a rule the prevented athletes from scraping their swing leg on the ground during the triple jump.
The men’s triple jump final at the 1980 Moscow Olympics, has so much controversy that they changed the rules to unban this action.
This is a summary of what happened at the event which led to the rule change.
1980 Moscow Olympics Men’s Triple Jump Finals
1st - Jaak Uudmäe - 17.35m
2nd - Viktor Saneyev - 17.24m
3rd - João Carlos de Oliveira - 17.22m
4th - Keith Connor - 16.87m
5th - Ian Campbell - 16.72m
Viktor Saneyev who won silver was attempting to win his fourth consecutive gold medal in the same individual event and was the favorite to win the event.
Both the Brazilian de Oliveira and Australian Ian Campbell produced multiple massive jumps which were capable of winning the event and even capable of breaking the olympic record, but they were declared fouls by the officials over and over again and were not measured.
8 of the 12 jumps were foul and no legal jumps after the third round
One of Australian Ian Campbell’s later jumps was well past the marker for the olympic record and would have won the competition. But the officials ruled it a foul.
But there was no mark in the plasticine,
The officials declared he had committed a "scrape foul" which was an interpretation of the rules at the time which stated the trailing leg (or the swing leg) could not touch the track during the jump.
Allegations quickly rose that the officials intentionally threw out their best jumps to favor the Soviets.
Because of the publicity this got, the IAAF was forced to reevaluate the rules that played into these events.

Fantastic video and summary of the events that took place. Athletics Australia recognised my jump as 17.51m in 2015. They partitioned World Athletics to award an additional medal. At no stage did they want the 'result' changed. World Athletics dismissed the appeal out of hand, despite an independent report done by Victoria Universities ISEAL research team that used 2015 technology to actually analyse my jump, concluding that no scrape occurred and the distance was 17.51m with an error factor of up to 2cm. Glad to know that our own global Federation places a high value on integrity in sport! To put all this in perspective, please remember that Joao Oliveira had a much troubled life and died very young. That is a real tragedy. He and I both agreed after the Moscow TJ, that yes, in fact, we were both robbed. Keep up the good fight!

I was born in the same city as João Oliveira. To you understand how it was tragedy to his career, one year after the moscow olympics he was involved in a car crash and had his right leg amputated. So he did not had the opportunity to try the gold medal again. After the accident he also had problems with alcoholism. He passed away in 1999. He was only 45 years old.

Ian, Thank you so much for watching! I wish RU-vid you let us edit videos afterwards and I could add your comments in there. It’s a shame what happened to Joao Oliveira, he was such a good dual jumper in both the triple jump and the long jump. It’s a shame that there isn’t some kind of retroactive acknowledgment similar to what they did with Phil Shinnick.

Shenanigans with judges at the olympics during the cold war era? Surely not! Shenanigans with the judges at the olympics held in the Soviet Union? That bastion of sporting integrity? I think not! As a former high/triple jump specialist, I can relate to having very dodgy calls made on my jumps. I once had to go grab my coach because a judge tried to call my jump a fail despite the bar NOT COMING OFF (this was high jump, obviously). I cleared the bar with everything but my heels cleanly, clipped it with my heels and it bounced up about 10cm and landed back on the supports, which under the rules at the time (and I assume to this day) counted as a good jump. It was my third fail in a row (I had failed twice at a lower height and the other two guys had cleared it, and I knew I could easily clear much higher if I stopped clipping the bloody bar with my heels, so I said to just go to the next height), I threw a right fit, my coach did too, he pulled out his rulebook and literally shoved the judge's nose in it, it was hilarious.

@Rowgue51 11 месяцев назад

It's just the definition of the triple jump itself. The rules said you are only allowed to make contact with the ground twice after your initial launch from the board. Any additional contact with the ground made it not a triple jump and thus a foul.

@onbored9627 10 месяцев назад

@@Rowgue51 Ah, that makes sense. But they removed that rule so you can do it because nobody would want to do it on purpose anyhow, as it would hinder your performance?

@michaellynn683 10 месяцев назад

The “scrape” rule was initiated to prevent a jumper from basically executing a quadruple jump. In other words, if a right, right, left TJer were to come down off their step phase and immediately take a tiny step back onto their right and jump off that, they could say that they didn’t violate any rule, but only scraped with their right foot. So the rule was initiated that one mustn’t even touch the runway with any part of the free leg or foot.

@JustSluipere 11 месяцев назад

@ranjeettate8676 10 месяцев назад

If the officials hurriedly erase either the ostensible foul (at the board) or rake the pit without measuring/recording and giving the athlete the opportunity to protest, specially with close calls and big jumps, then one can't discard the possibility of collusion. In college, I learned a better technique for the triple jump, cycling my trailing or inactive leg during the hop, which led to better performance in practice. At an inter-collegiate competition, the host university's triple-jumper was their track captain and obvious hero on campus (he himself was humbler than the aura placed on him). During the competition (officiated by locals in that rural feudal part of India), i had a couple of indifferent jumps, since I was trying a new not yet perfected technique, sitting around in 2nd or 3rd place. Then on my 6th jump, using the same technique as I had been using, everything clicked and I hit a really good distance. You know how you can tell while you are still in the air. When I got up from the pit I saw my mark was well beyond the top jump, corroborated by the sound of the crowd and by my colleagues watching. But before they measured it, the board official called a fouled and had the pit raked. I thought it was a board foul, but they claimed I'd taken "4 steps", that I'd taken an extra step during the hop. Which is a bit silly because the trailing foot would be at the bottom of its trajectory close to when your CM would be at maximum height, and taking two steps instead of a hop would just be obvious to everybody. When I tried to protest, they said they they would give me an extra jump after all the rest of the jumpers had finished their 6th jumps. (Which is also not any official thing to do, but I accepted it instead of registering an official protest.) When the rest of the jumpers had had their 6th jumps, they wrapped up and told me that I couldn't do an "extra" jump since the competition was over. On the basis of my valid jumps, I was in third place, and I just wrote the whole thing off. At the awards ceremony, they called my name for second place, as some weird consolation thing, changing the records and adding in a jump I'd never done comfortably between the second place and first place jumpers'. In doing that, they just compounded their corruption, because they also cheated the second place valid jumper out of his place.

Can't we get rid of jump boards and just put some sort of tiny transmitter in the competitors shoe tip that would be picked up by a detector that, combined with hi-tech slo-mo cameras, could determine where the athlete began the jump with a very high level of precision? The jump board was, of course, used in times before these technologies existed but could be made obsolete. We also know that many jumps lose a fair amount of distance in the measurement because they took off well before they reached the board. TBH i'm more interested in how far the athlete can jump period than I am in how far they could jump relative to their ability to hit a precise take-off point.

Technically the rule for not scraping was correct. If you touch the ground with the swinging leg, it becomes quad jump. You should not be allowed to touch the ground more than 2 times after the first jump from the board.

An old high school competitor of mine, Ron Livers, was supposed to go to the 1980 Olympics. But it was boycotted, and he was still mad about that. He often dragged his foot and that would disqualify him because another part of his body is t supposed to touch the ground. And it did deter his jumping distance. He also held the world record, for one year, for high jumping the most inches over one’s height.

@Rowgue51 11 месяцев назад

It's understandable why the rule was put in to begin with. The way the triple jump is explicitly defined in the rules said that if you contact the ground more than twice after your initial takeoff from the board then it's a foul. Scraping was indeed a foul when this occurred. Now whether the event was rigged and they were only enforcing the rule selectively to favor the russian jumpers is a whole different conversation. But they did appear to be scraping and that was a foul at the time, so the controversy over it shouldn't have been focused so much on the rule and should have been more focused on the selective enforcement of it and the apparent disappearance of the supervising officials.

Not really a good comparison. It was changed in the javelin in particular because shorter athletes were at a disadvantage. In order to throw far, there *is* an optimal angle, and for some athletes who get particularly deep (center of mass distance to the ground) at plant, it's not possible to attain the angle without the javelin touching the ground.

Oh ya. Research has shown that,, the force exerted by the athlete on the ground can be between 11 to 22 times their body weight. It’s the highest measured force that a human limb is exposed to during any intentional activity (meaning car crashes and stuff like that is excluded). So because of this, a triple jumper’s bones in their shins and thighs become thicker and denser (enhanced bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD)) in order to withstand the incredible forces. But as we age, it’s inevitable that injuries pile up.

Interesting claim! Please provide a source for 'russian' meaning 'cheater' in that many languages.

I recall reading an Australian newspaper article about this where he was quoted saying he was robbed of the Olympic record and was still bitter years later.

@@alexandergutfeldt1144 *I AM THE SOURCE!!* My name is Roger Thesaurus. I live in the village of 'English Dictionary' in the county of Oxford, and I speak 32 different languages. The comment by thomasmckenzie4584 is only incorrect by 1 in asserting that 'Russian' means cheater in 32 languages, because in Swahili, the word 'Russian' describes a spotted land mammal, capable of very high running speeds.

Russia was notorious about calls in Olympics in the 80s. luckily higher definition/Hi framerate cameras make cheating harder/impossible now.

@Boyso5407 11 месяцев назад

Let’s be honest. Given what we know today about Russia and the Olympics I’d say it’s pretty obvious they were disallowing any jump from non-Russians. They waited till they had Russians in 1st and 2nd place and then essentially just ended to competition by saying everyone else fouled. Imagine working your whole life to be an Olympic athlete and you get robbed by a bunch of cheaters. Pathetic

They’ve done it so many times. Disgusting.

No Russians involved. Saneyev was a Georgian (who died last year in Australia where he emigrated to flee the Georgian Civil War), and Uudmäe is an Estonian of course (and still alive)

I remember watching these Olympics and there was loads of Soviet cheating in lots of events. And if there is one thing we have learned in the years since this Olympics is that most people connected to the Olympic organisation are bent.
