What are the three components of the triple jump sequence?

• A. Run, Jump, Spin
• B. Hop, Step, Jump
• C. Skip, Hop, Jump
• D. Step, Hop, Jump

Answer: (B)

The sequence tested is the three-part progression used in the triple jump: hop, step, jump. You start by taking off from one leg and landing on the same leg—the hop. Then you land on the other leg—the step—and finally you push off from that second leg to land in the pit on both feet—the jump. This order matters because each phase transfers and channels momentum in a controlled way to maximize distance. The other options don’t fit because they misorder the phases or use terms not recognized as the standard sequence in the event.
