  Viktor Saneyev
By the end of 1976, Viktor Saneyev had established an incredible record in the triple jump at major championships, with three Olympic gold medals, and two golds and a silver in the European Championships.
Saneyev's consistency and durability over the years had been quite remarkable for such a stressful event, but in the following two years, he was plagued by ankle injuries and underwent several operations.
Despite these problems, Saneyev seemed to be well on the way to capturing his third triple jump title at the European championships in Prague on 3 September 1978, after he took the lead in round 1 with a jump of 16.84m.

 Viktor Saneyev
Viktor Saneyev had established himself as the best triple jumper in the world in the final years of the 1960s, winning the 1968 Olympic and 1969 European titles, and becoming the new world record holder.
On the positive side, Viktor's 17.16m jump to win the national championships at Moscow on 17 July, and his 17.29m jump in a late season meet in Madrid, were the second and third best performances of 1971 behind Perez's world record.
The showdown between Saneyev, Drehmel and Perez at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich was thus keenly anticipated, although it was somewhat diluted when Perez, hampered by injury, failed to progress past the qualifying round.

 Viktor Saneyev
In America or Europe, triple Olympic gold medallist Viktor Saneyev, a sprint and jumps coach for more than 20 years,would most probably be lauded in a highly paid, full-time job as a national or academy coach.
Saneyev worked for four years as head jumps coach for the USSR athletics team before embarking on a coaching career of his own.
Saneyev, who now speaks much better English and has gained help from St George coach Peter Tuziak, believes Sean Culkin has the ability to soar more than 8 metres in the long jump if he keeps putting in the work.

 BBC SPORT | SPORTS TALK | Is Edwards the best ever?
Viktor Saneyev won three consecutive golds ('68, '72 and '76), was robbed of a fourth in 1980, and broke the world record in the Olympic Finals....twice!
Jonathan Edwards is currently the UK's leading athlete but falls short of the status of a true great as he has failed several times in major events.
However, the feats of the Soviet Viktor Saneyev are unparalleled in that he won three consecutive Olympic triple jump titles in 1968, 1972 and 1976 in addition to a brave silver in 1980.
