Andrew Howe had been favored even before the European Championships and convinced in the qualification with the best distance of 8.33 m. In the final, he didn't have to use all his skills to win over young Briton Greg Rutherford. The defending champion Olexij Lukaschewytsch won the bronze medal. Only these three jumpers could surpass the eight-meter mark. In Munich 2002 only two jumpers managed to do this.
