Holiday with the French judge - referee of Olympic event (6,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

triple jump

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'olympic event' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'holiday with the french judge referee' is the wordplay.
'holiday with' becomes 'trip' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'the french' becomes 'le' ('the' in French).
'judge' becomes 'j' (abbreviation for judge).
'referee' becomes 'ump' (I've seen this in another clue).
'trip'+'le'+'j'+'ump'='TRIPLE JUMP'

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for triple jump that I've seen before include "Athletic event" , "Athletics event" , "Three-step event" .)
