Purpose and description
Enable an agent to recognise a triple-jump attempt, assess its execution and result, and identify appropriate next actions under the applicable rules and athlete constraints.
Triple jump is an athletics jumping event in which an athlete follows a run-up with a hop landing on the take-off foot, a step landing on the opposite foot, and a jump into a sandpit, aiming to maximize the valid distance achieved.
It can be Identify whether an observed sequence is a complete triple jump or a partial drill.; Annotate approach, hop, step, jump and landing observations from video or direct observation.; Check an attempt against an identified ruleset and flag evidence requiring official review.; Compare repeated attempts using distance, take-off accuracy and phase execution.; Propose a bounded practice adjustment tied to an observed execution issue.; Flag an attempt for stopping or qualified review when pain, loss of control or unsuitable conditions are reported..
Distinguishing features
The full movement comprises an approach followed by a hop, a step and a jump, rather than the single take-off used in long jump.
The hop lands on the same foot that initiated it; the step lands on the opposite foot, which initiates the final jump.
The intermediate contacts continue forward progression before the final landing, ordinarily in a sand landing area.
Performance concerns the complete sequence, with phase distances describing execution rather than independently scored jumps.
An isolated hopping drill resembles part of triple jump but does not by itself constitute a complete event attempt.

Drafted structure
Bundle to layer to finding to question, as the second pass will find it: 6 bundles · 11 layers · 18 findings · 31 questions.
Event identity Establishes whether the activity is triple jump and what form of participation is being observed.
A model must distinguish the complete event from neighbouring jumps and drills that reproduce only some phases.
Defining sequence
Recognises the ordered hop, step and jump through foot contacts.
Contact pattern
Record the initial take-off foot, both intermediate landing feet and the transition into the final jump.
- Does the hop return to its take-off foot and the step transfer to the opposite foot? definition
- Which contacts are directly observed, and which remain obscured or inferred? provenance
Attempt or drill
Separates event attempts from modified practice sequences.
Activity boundary
Identify whether the activity intends a complete measured attempt or isolates a triple-jump skill.
- Is this a competition attempt, full-sequence practice or a drill with an intentionally omitted phase? boundary
- Which practice constraints change the approach, contacts or landing relative to a full attempt? definition
Approach and phase execution Captures how the athlete reaches take-off and sustains the three-phase sequence.
Total distance alone cannot reveal where approach accuracy or phase transitions constrain the attempt.
Approach to hop
Connects runway progression with the placement and control of the first take-off.
Take-off arrival
Record approach speed, final-stride observations and foot placement relative to the take-off line.
- What speed and take-off-line offset were measured, using which observation windows and reference points? measurement
- Across repeated attempts, what evidence supports adjusting the starting mark or approach rhythm? action
Linked phases
Examines the hop and step landings as transitions into subsequent take-offs.
Phase continuity
Record phase distances and observable changes in speed, posture and balance without prescribing a universal phase ratio.
- How are hop, step and jump distances defined and distributed in this attempt? measurement
- At which transition, if any, does the athlete visibly lose forward progression or control? measurement
- Which single practice adjustment could test the suspected transition problem? action
Validity and measurement Connects observed execution to an attempt ruling and a traceable distance.
A long physical effort and a valid recorded result are distinct states requiring different evidence.
Attempt adjudication
Applies an identified ruleset to potentially decisive events during the attempt.
Ruling evidence
Record the official ruling, relevant observations and any unresolved issue concerning take-off, sequence, contacts or landing-area exit.
- Which ruleset edition and local provisions govern this attempt? provenance
- What observed event and applicable provision support the valid or foul ruling? boundary
- Does incomplete or conflicting evidence require review by an authorised official? action
Distance record
Preserves how the attempt's distance was established.
Measurement reference
Distinguish the official measurement from practice estimates and biomechanical phase measurements.
- Which take-off reference and landing mark were used to establish the recorded distance? measurement
- Who or what measured the distance, and what precision and recording convention were used? provenance
Conditions and performance Interprets an attempt within its physical conditions and series of results.
Triple-jump distances need context before they can support comparisons or claims of improvement.
Attempt environment
Records wind and facility configuration relevant to the sequence and its result.
Conditions context
Associate the attempt with its wind reading, runway observations and take-off-board distance from the landing area.
- What wind reading belongs to this attempt, and how was it obtained? measurement
- Is the board-to-pit configuration suitable for the athlete's observed ability to complete the sequence into the landing area? action
- Which applicable conditions determine whether this result qualifies for the intended comparison or recognition? boundary
Attempt series
Relates the result to other attempts while preserving fouls and missing observations.
Repeatability and progress
Assess distance consistency, valid-attempt frequency and execution changes across comparable attempts.
- How do valid distances, foul frequency and take-off placement vary across the series? measurement
- Which attempts are comparable given differences in approach length, wind, surface and measurement method? boundary
Readiness and next action Supports decisions about repeating, modifying or stopping triple-jump activity.
The repeated single-leg contacts make observed control and tolerance relevant to any proposed next attempt.
Contact tolerance
Captures athlete reports and observable control through the hop and step contacts.
Readiness evidence
Record pain reports, fatigue and changes in landing control without treating these observations as a diagnosis.
- Has the athlete reported pain or shown deteriorating control at a specific phase contact? measurement
- Do the observations support another attempt, a modified drill, stopping or qualified assessment? action
Bounded adjustment
Makes technique changes explicit and evaluates them against an observed problem.
Adjustment test
Link a proposed change in approach or phase execution to a measurable expected effect and a stopping condition.
- What observed issue motivates the proposed change to approach length, take-off placement or phase emphasis? provenance
- What result would justify retaining, reversing or stopping the adjustment? action
