Jordan Scott made light work of qualifying for the final of the men’s triple jump with a 17.19m (0.4m/s) effort in the first round on day five of the Tokyo World Athletics Championships on Tuesday.
The world number three ranked Scott, who has a personal best 17.52m, made the automatic qualifying mark of 17.10m on his second effort after just missing it with a 17.00m (0.1m/s) jump on his first round attempt.
