The men's triple jump at the 2015 World Championships in Athletics was held at the Beijing National Stadium on 26 and 27 August.

[1][2] The early season meet at Doha gave an indication that this would be an exciting year in the triple jump.

Pedro Pablo Pichardo, who would return here as the previous silver medalist jumped 18.06 to become the #3 jumper in history.

In the qualification round, only Marian Oprea made an automatic qualifier on his first attempt, it took Taylor two and Pichardo three but there was no doubt either would make the final.

Taylor's jump took the 19 year old North American Continental Record and American Record from Kenny Harrison set at the 1996 Olympics, the previous number 2 jumper in history.
