Part of the greatest triple jump competition of all time. The world record was broken four times during the course of the Olympic final on the 17 October 1968, Mexico City. Including twice by Sanyeyev.
Three time Olympic champion from 1968 to 1976. Just failed to defend his title in his home Olympics in Moscow 1980 finishing with a silver medal. Still the most decorated triple jumper of all time.
Broke the world record for the third time four years to the day after that epic final with a jump of 17.44m which remained the record to 1975.
