Jasmine Moore (born May 1, 2001) is an American athlete.[1] She won the bronze medal at the 2024 Summer Olympics in both the long jump and the triple jump event. In 2022, she became the first American woman to qualify for the World Athletics Championships in both the long jump and the triple jump.[2]

From Grand Prairie, Texas and a student at the University of Georgia,[3] she said she chose Georgia in order to train with Petros Kyprianou, and that she was inspired by the success of Keturah Orji. Moore was named the 2019 Gatorade Girls Track & Field Athlete of the Year.[4]

Moore won the triple jump at the 2021 SEC Outdoor Track and Field Championships with a personal-best and wind-legal jump of 14.39 m (47 ft 3 in), giving her the Olympic standard for the delayed 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and in the top ten in the world for the year.[5] Also, at the same event she came third in the long jump with a distance of 6.64 m (21 ft 9 in).[6]

In June 2021, she won bronze in the long jump at the NCAA Championships with a jump of 6.65 m (21 ft 10 in). At the same event she won silver in the triple jump with a leap of 14.13 m (46 ft 4 in).[7] She recorded a new long jump personal best of 6.83 m (22 ft 5 in) in Athens, Georgia on April 9, 2021, the distance hit the qualifying standard for the Olympic Games and was the sixth highest in the world for the year, and in the top 10 collegiate distances of all time.[8] At the US Olympic trials she finished third in the triple jump to clinch her first Olympic place at the 2020 Summer Games.[9]

In 2023, Moore was chosen as the Honda Sports Award winner in the sport of track and field following her seventh career NCAA individual title, setting an NCAA record in the triple jump of 15.12 m (49 ft 7 in).[10] On July 3, Moore announced she would forego her remaining collegiate eligibility and that she had signed with Puma.[11] She was selected for the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest in August, where she qualified fifth and finished tenth overall.[12][13]
