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.
Qualification - Friday, 8th September 10:30 Mark 7.80m. 11 Athletes passed the Mark and next 1 Best was added to Final. Virtual Mark 7.79m
