Teddy Tamgho

Teddy Tamgho is, to me, one of the most electrifying triple jumpers ever to grace a runway. That 18.04-metre leap at the 2013 World Championships in Moscow, claiming gold on the grandest stage, still ranks among the all-time outdoor greats, and he held the world indoor record too. The triple jump is a brutal test of explosive timing, and watching this Parisian unleash that mid-air violence is unforgettable. Injuries shadowed parts of his career, which makes those soaring marks feel even more precious. I regard him as a genuine jewel of French athletics, deserving far more recognition than he gets.
