Another Ukrainian, Olha Korsun, failed to make it to the final. She completed the qualification with one successful attempt at 13.06 meters.
According to the competition regulations, athletes who met the qualification standard (14.35 meters) or entered the top 12 based on the results of the qualification reached the final.
The 2024 Olympic triple jump final will be held on Saturday, August 3. The start is at 21:20 Kyiv time.
