qualification
September 17, 1969, 10:00 a.m.
25 participants competed in two groups for a qualifying round. The qualification distance for the direct entry into the final was 7.65 m. Since only four athletes exceeded this mark (highlighted in light blue), the final field was filled with the next best-placed athletes to actually twelve jumpers. Since there were three athletes with identical distance from eleventh onwards, nine other participants (highlighted in light green), a total of thirteen athletes, were admitted to the final on the following day. The rule of placing over the better second best attempt in each case did not apply in the qualification with regard to the selection for the finals in ranks eleven to thirteen. In the end, 7.65 m was enough for participation in the finals.
