These are the official results of the Women's Triple Jump event at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia.

The key players from the previous year's world championships which had rewritten the record books were all in attendance.

World record holder Inessa Kravets put out a long first jump, but it wasn't measured as it was ruled a foul.

The fifth round settled the medals as Lasovskaya jumped 14.70m to edge ahead on the tiebreaker.

Then Kravets bounded down the runway, almost making the pit on her step phase, landing at 15.33 m (50 ft 3+1⁄2 in), to date the second longest jump in history only to her world record.
