world Women Long Jump History

Venue: Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum 93,607.

23 competitors from 12 nations.

Qualification

Cuşmir and Ionescu had between them set the previous five world records, though World Champion Heike Daute (GDR) was generally recognised as the best jumper in the world. Of those present, Carol Lewis was regarded as the one most likely to dent the Romanian hege- mony. However, it was Joyner who led the qualifying with 6.77, as six jumpers reached the standard of 6.50. Cuşmir and Hearnshaw, jumping consecutively, set the standard in the final. Both reached 6.80 in the first round, and the Romanian took sole control of the gold with her fourth jump of 6.96. Ionescu moved up from fifth with her penultimate jump of 6.81, and the medals were settled. Thacker won the battle of the Americans from Joyner 6.78w to 6.77, as Lewis had an off-day, reaching only 6.43.
