world Men Long Jump History

Venue: Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum 93,607.
31 competitors from 25 nations.
Qualification
World and Olympic Record: 8.90m Robert Beamon, United States Mexico City, Mexico 18th October 1968.
Undefeated since 1981, Lewis was such an overwhelming favourite that the question seemed to be whether he might break the world record, rather than simply win. After leading the qualifying round by 28cm with 8.30w, Lewis soared to 8.54 on his opening jump and the gold medal was decided. After a foul Lewis then passed his remaining jumps, mindful of his remaining competition at 200m and the relay. Behind him, Larry Myricks, favourite for the runner-up position, was having trouble. Trailing Italy’s slender Giovanni Evangelisti 8.06 to 8.09 in the first round, the US number two then dropped to fourth, behind Australia’s Gary Honey, who reached 8.18 in the third round. Myricks managed 8.16 in the fifth round, but both Evangelisti and Honey showed great competitive abilities by leaping 8.24 for national records and the minor medals. Jumpers missing from the fray who would have been medal factors were Jaime Jefferson of Cuba (8.36 in the Soviet bloc “Druzhba” meeting), Konstantin Semykin (8.38), and Lutz Dombrowski (8.45 the week before LA).
