💨 Abstract

To summarize the article: Jonathan Edwards, the famed British athlete, set an enduring world record in triple jump 30 years ago. Edwards, though feeling anxious, bought sunglasses to hide his nerves before the 1995 World Championships in Gothenburg. He set and broke his own record, jumping 18.29 meters. His technique, combining speed and lightness, made his jumps memorable. Since then, few athletes have come close to breaking his record.
