Men - Phillips Idowu, Onochie 'Larry' Achike, Nathan Douglas Women - None (I don't think GB are entering any female athletes for the TJ, as the Olympic trials are over), hopefully there will be a late entry though ---- UPDATE: Douglas did not qualify for the medal round. Idowu and Achike both did and in the finals, Idowu finished second and won the silver medal and Achike finished seventh. England did not have any athletes participating in women's triple jump FURTHER UPDATE: England did not have any athletes in the Olympic games. It was a GB Team which England were a part off. England is not an Olympic nation!!
