world Men Long Jump History Men Long Jump

Venue: Central Lenin Stadium, Luzhniki 100,000. 23 competitors from 11 nations.
Qualification
World and Olympic Record: 8.90m Robert Beamon, United States Mexico City, Mexico 18th October 1968.
With no Americans the competition was severely devalued, although Larry Myricks and Carl Lewis would have had to excel themselves to be up with the winner. Paschek and Dombrowski led the qualifiers with 8.17, while injuries prevented Cuba’s David Giralt and Yugoslav European record holder Nenad Stekić from qualifying. The excellent Ukrainian jumper Podluzhniy opened the competition with 8.07, but was quickly overtaken by Szalma (8.13) and Dombrowski (8.15). Podluzhniy improved to 8.08, but soon found himself in fifth, as Corgos (8.09) and Paschek (8.21) passed him on successive jumps. Dombrowski then boomed out to 8.32 to win the gold medal. The only jump of quality in round 3 came from baby-faced Belskiy, who edged into fourth with 8.10. Podluzhniy opened the sec- ond half of the final with his bronze medal winning jump - 8.18. Dombrowski (1.87/87kg) produced another quality jump in the fourth round (8.21). He pounded down the runway in the penultimate round and powered off the take-off board perfectly into his simple hang style, to land 8.54 away from the board. It was the second furthest jump ever, and the best at low altitude. He supported it with another fine jump - 8.34 - on his final attempt. Dombrowski, who had triple jumped 16.61 at the age of 17, and high jumped 2.10, was one of the greatest ever European jumping talents. On a less savoury note it was found many years later that he had, under pressure, worked as an informer for the GDR secret police, helping ensure continued political correctness from that country’s athletes.
