world Men Long Jump History

Venue: Estadi Olímpic de Montjuïc 67,007.

50 competitors from 37 nations.

Qualification

World Record: 8.95m Mike Powell, United States Tokyo, Japan 30th August 1991

Olympic Record: 8.90m Robert Beamon, United States Mexico City, Mexico 18th October 1968.

Powell had beaten Lewis with a world record 8.95 at the 1991 World Championships. He repeated this victory (8.62 to 8.53) in the US Trials, and was favourite to win. Some athletes raise their game when the pressure increases, and Lewis was that type of competitor. To show he was in good condition Lewis led the preliminary round with 8.68, the best qualifying jump ever, and the best mark of 1992. Lewis opened his account in the final by booming another big jump – 8.67. Powell began slowly with 7.95 and improved to 8.22 and then 8.33, with Cuba’s 19 year-old Pedroso in third with 8.11 after three rounds. Joe Greene, the pencil-thin US third string, moved past Powell with 8.34 in the fourth round, but Powell reacted with 8.53, though the World Champion was more concerned with gold than saving silver. With his final jump Powell cut the sand virtually level with the leading marker of Lewis, but the measurement showed it to be 3cm short. Lewis finished off his third Olympic final with two jumps of 8.50, to lead the fourth US clean sweep of the event.
