Medalists in the triple jump from 1980 Moscow olympic games

[erekleification]

Saneev was injured. He was the king of that sport. Noone as good as him.

[Triplejump96]

Jaak Uudmäe is the best!!!

[trickygoose]

I remember reading that a French (neutral!) coach watching this event said that both Campbell & De Oliveira had jumps dubiously given as fouls that were further than the gold medal jump.

makes me wish they hadn't picked moscow for the 2013 world champs :S

João Carlos de Oliveira was ROBBED by soviets at Moscow. They changed the white flag to red, after they saw he made a big jump....

[PitchBlackii]

Joao Carlos De Olivera died in 1999 from complications of alcoholism.

Jaak Uudmäe!!!!!!

Do not forget the 5 fouls out of 6 attemps for Joao Carlos de Oliveira who was the World Record holder at that time. Unbelievable!

[TrazanAndCO]

It could as well be the case that it's not his best jump of the competition that is shown. For Saneyev, his jump in this clip seems to be 17.07 instead of his best jump of the day of 17.24, if I have read the result screen right.

[bossofalltime]

That was what I was thinking but I needed some confirmation ;-)

[1981aLaN]

Im not sure about whats worse - the unbelievable drug-enhanced performances at these games or the unbelievable soviet cheating in this event.

[bossofalltime]

Is it me, or does Uudmae's jump look far, far shorter than both Oliveira and Saneyev's jumps in this video ? And I mean shorter by like a foot !

[johntwentythree]

His jump looks about 16.75 to me. He completely collapses in the jump phase. This competition should have been won by Ian Campbell of Australia who had a 17.50 effort ruled a foul by the scrape judge (back when they had that rule) only after it was clear that it was a massive jump. Video footage revealed there was no scrape.

[triplestep1829]

it was a dodgy comp all round, i have a feeling saneyev got dudded as well

[susspuss]

this jump from Uudmäe seen here, isn't the best jump. whole compilation sucks all the way...

look at this youtube clip:

/watch?v=INtpw6Sn3qg

that jump looks way better than shown here. although i agree with the fact, that the soviets cheated with the results very often...

@bossofalltime

Maybe because it's not even his best jump being shown. Uudmäe owned everyone.

saneyev didnt even take vitamins let alone roids
