My Take

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.

Overview

Teddy Tamgho (born 15 June 1989) is a French triple jumper. He is the former triple jump world indoor record holder, achieved in winning the final and gold medal at the 2011 European Indoor Championships. He is the world's sixth best ever triple jumper outdoors, with his best mark of 18.04 metres achieved in winning the final and gold medal at the 2013 World Championships.
