The Women's Triple Jump at the 2009 World Championships in Athletics will be held at the Olympic Stadium on August 17.
The jumps in the final of the competition were not of the standard shown in previous years, and favourite Yargeris Savigne was largely unchallenged. She took the gold with a best of 14.95 m to become only the second athlete to win consecutive world titles in the event (after Lebedeva's 2001 and 2003 double). Second-placed Gay (14.61) won her first ever World Championship medal and Pyatykh reached the podium with a mark of 14.58 m. Biljana Topic set a Serbian record of 14.52 m for fourth place, but no other athletes managed beyond 14.50 m
