Triple Jump Trailblazers by Lawrence Harvey
Triple Jump Trailblazers tells the fascinating history of the triple jump and how this most unique of track and field disciplines catapulted into being a staple of the Olympics athletics programme that remains today. It plots the chronology of human progress through the early days of amateur athletics to the professionalism that has excelled distances beyond what was once thought possible, through iconic sporting heroes whose incredible stories give tremendous insight beyond the distances and the medals. In addition to the amazing stories, Triple Jump Trailblazers is a statistician's dream - not only recounting the progress of performance, but also tracking how and why key events took place! Plus, for the first time, triple jumpers through history (male and female) are ranked using the newly developed Harvey-Benns Method to explain who really is the greatest triple jumper to have ever lived!
Andy Benns is the author of several books and a respected historian in the field of forgotten war heroes, remembering those lost through both World War I and World War II. Andy is also a huge sports fan - his historical knowledge stretches over many fields. Lawrence Harvey is a businessman and former Masters (M35) World Champion in the triple jump. Lawrence is passionate about sport and those that have paved the way for what we all enjoy today - especially in athletics, for which he has personally supported a number of athletes over the years.
