Olympic Men Long Jump 1976
Competitors: 36; Countries: 25
World and Olympic Record: 8.90m Robert Beamon, United States Mexico City, Mexico 18th October 1968.
With only Lynn Davies and Igor Ter-Ovanesyan – in his fifth Games – of the old elite still in competition, the long jump was in a state of flux. Neither man made the final, in a qualifying round which saw the best mark of the meeting, a world junior record of 8.34 for Randy Williams. Williams’s jump, the best of his career, lasted as the furthest ever by a junior for more than 30 years. Behind him Preston Carrington also set a lifetime best with 8.22. In the final Williams opened with 8.24, and the rest were unable to catch up. Both Robinson and Carrington had trouble with their run-up. Baumgartner, in front of a home crowd, did best with two 8m jumps, the longer of which was a personal best 8.18 for silver.
