{{Athletics at the 2024 Summer Olympics}}

The women's triple jump at the 2024 Summer Olympics was held in Paris, France, on 2 and 3 August 2024. This was the eighth time that the event was contested at the Summer Olympics.

Summary

Since the 2017 World Championships, Yulimar Rojas has won every major championship. In addition to the world record, Rojas owns half of the top triple jumps ever. With Rojas out for the season, this opened the door for other athletes to step up. With silver at three major championships Shanieka Ricketts, tied for #21 all time seemed the likely candidate. Ana Peleteiro, the returning bronze medalist was also in the competition. Maryna Bekh-Romanchuk was the silver medalist at the most recent World Championships ahead of Leyanis Pérez. Earlier in the year, Thea LaFond won the World Indoor Championship over Pérez and Peleteiro.

Liadagmis Povea, Jasmine Moore, Peleteiro and Ricketts beat the automatic qualifier on their first attempt. Dariya Derkach and LaFond hit it exactly both on their second attempt. Pérez took all three attempts to pound out the best qualifier 14.68m. Bekh-Romanchuk was the next best non-automatic qualifier.

Peleteiro started off the final with 14.55m. That held up through the round until the last two jumpers, Ricketts taking the lead with 14.61m until the last jumper, Pérez, went a centimeter further. The second round got serious. Moore stepped into the lead with a 14.67m which lasted two jumps until LaFond blasted a PB {{T&Fcalc|15.02}}. Dropped to fourth place, Ricketts improved to 14.87m to move into silver position. And the rain came. Peleteiro improved to 14.59 in the fourth round, Povea improved to 14.64m in the fifth, but neither reached Moore.https://olympics.com/OG2024/pdf/OG2024/ATH/OG2024_ATH_N59A_ATHWTRPLJUMP----------FNL-000100--.pdfhttps://olympics.com/OG2024/pdf/OG2024/ATH/OG2024_ATH_C73H2_ATHWTRPLJUMP----------FNL-000100--.pdf LaFond was the first medal winner of any kind for the island nation of Dominica with a population barely over 70,000. Her winning mark improved her own National Record and moved her into a tie with Bekh-Romanchuk as #24 of all time.http://www.alltime-athletics.com/wtripleok.htm

Background

The women's triple jump has been present on the Olympic athletics programme since 1996.

Reigning Olympic gold medallist, world record holder and seven-time world champion Yulimar Rojas was absent from the event after undergoing surgery to repair an achilles injury incurred during a training session in Spain in April 2024.{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/athletics/68801547| title=Paris 2024: Triple Jump champion Yulimar Rojas to miss Olympic Games through injury| work=BBC|access-date=20 April 2024 }}
