Triple Jump

Type: Concept

As of November 2026, Triple Jump has been mentioned in one podcast episode on Founder's Story (Feb 2026). Central to Samir Lane's athletic identity and used as an analogy for iterative improvement and addressing weaknesses—paralleling career growth.

The triple jump, sometimes referred to as the hop, step and jump or the hop, skip and jump, is a track and field event, similar to long jump. As a group, the two events are referred to as the "horizontal jumps". The competitor runs down the track and performs a hop, a bound and then a jump into the sand pit. The triple jump was inspired by accounts of lengthy jumps at the ancient Olympic Games and has been a modern Olympics event since the Games' inception in 1896.
