final

The narrow group of favorites included the Serbian European champion from 2016 , Olympic third from 2016 , World Cup fourth from 2017 Ivana Španović, British vice world champion from 2015 Shara Proctor as well as the German European Championship third from 2016 and Olympic champion from 2016 Malaika Mihambo. The British Lorraine Ugen - WM -Fünfte of 2017 and World Cup -Vierte of 2015 went with good prospects for the top places at the start. Španović had qualified as the best qualifier for the final, but could not start there due to injury.
In the first rounds, the long jump didn't really want to get going. After round one the Ukrainian Maryna Bech was leading with 6.60 m ahead of Proctor with a meager 6.58 m. This did not change in the second round. By then, Mihambo was 6.36 m tall and had not yet qualified for the top eight final. In the third attempt, Mihambo reached 6.75 m, with which she not only gained permission for three more jumps, but also took the lead. Proctor improved on lap four to 6.69 m and sat in second position. Now acceptable widths were slowly being achieved. There were further increases in the fifth round. Bech achieved 6.67 m and consolidated third place. The British Jazmin Sawyers jumped 6.66 m and was fourth. The last series of tests brought further improvements. First Sawyers drew level with Bech with 6.67 m, but was now on the bronze rank due to her better second-best jump. But Bech immediately countered, she scored 6.73 m and was only two centimeters behind the leading Mihambo. But the Ukrainian had overtaken Proctor and Sawyer again and was on the silver rank. Proctor's increase to 6.70 m didn't change that either. Malaika Mihambo, who had another good attempt in the fifth round with 6.73 m, became European champion ahead of Maryna Bech and Shara Proctor. Jazmin Sawyers missed bronze by three centimeters. The Belarusian Nastassja Mirontschyk-Iwanowa was fifth ahead of the Estonian Ksenija Balta.
