Jamaica's Jaydon Hibbert's Under-20 triple jump world record of 17.75 meters done at the 2024 Racers Grand Prix in Jamaica has been ratified by World Athletics.
Hibbert, who turned 20 on Friday, improved his own world U20 record of 17.66 metres done in 2023 at the Monaco Diamond League.
Hibbert went on to finish fourth in the Olympic final in Paris, soaring 17.61 metres, just three centimetres off the bronze medal-winning mark.
The jump placed Hibbert third on the world top list for 2024 behind only Olympic medallists Jordan Alejandro Diaz Fortun and Pedro Pichardo.
Hibbert's achievements in 2024 also earned him a nomination for World Athletics men's rising star award.
