world Women Long Jump History

Venue: Olympic Stadium, Tokyo. Capp.: 57,363 (48,000 seats).
31 competitors from 21 nations.
Qualification
Shchelkanova had the three best jumps in the world prior to Tokyo, but it was the number two jumper, Rand, who led the qualifying with an Olympic record 6.52. Rand (then Bignal) had led the Rome qualifiers, only to falter in the final. This time she made no mistake, leading from the outset with 6.59. Though threatened by the ubiquitous Kirszenstein’s 6.56 in round 3, Rand was untroubled. The “golden girl” of British athletics soared to a world record 6.76 in the fifth round despite a headwind of 1.69. A similar following wind would have resulted in a jump of around 7.00. As it was Rand dominated the competition, for her six jumps averaged 6.62, ahead of Kirszenstein’s best of 6.60, and well ahead of the demoralised Shchelkanova. The Russian was not as disappointing as the popular Willye White (USA), who had ranked third before Tokyo with 6.55/6.60w, but managed only 6.07 in the final.
