world Men Long Jump History

Venue: Bois de Boulogne.
12 competitors from 6 nations.
Qualification on Saturday, 14t July 11:40
World record: Myer Prinstein, United States 7.50m (unoficial) Philadelphia, United States 28 April 1900
Olympic record: Ellery Harding Clark, United States 6.35m Athens, Greece, 7 April 1896 NS
All twelve jumpers competed in the qualifier, with the top five moving on to the final. For the final, scores from the qualifier remained valid. Prinstein, citing an agreement between Kraenzlein and himself not to compete on a Sunday, did not compete in the final on 15 July. Kraenzlein, however, did compete and outperformed Prinstein's mark from the previous day. This infuriated Prinstein, who attempted to strike Kraenzlein. Sources vary as to whether any of the blows actually landed, however. Delannoy did not improve upon his qualifier mark and dropped to fifth place.
