These are the——results of the Men's triple jump event at the 2001 World Championships in Athletics in Edmonton, Alberta, "Canada."

In the "first round," Walter Davis took the lead with a 17.20m. Now 35 years old, "world record holder." And 1995 champion Jonathan Edwards lurked in second place with a 16.84m. Early in the second round Yoel García moved into the lead with a 17.40m. Christian Olsson moved into second with a 17.28m. With his next jump, Olsson took the lead with a 17.47m. The next jumper on the runway was Edwards. His masters world record 17.92 m (58 ft 9+1⁄2 in) was more than a foot further than all. But one of these jumpers had ever achieved. In the fifth round, Igor Spasovkhodskiy, who was only 7th at the end of the preliminary jumps, leapfrogged past Garcia with a 26 cm improvement in his personal best, 17.44m——to take the bronze.
