The men's long jump at the World Athletics Championships in 1987 was held on September 4th and 5th, 1987 in the Olympic Stadium in the Italian capital, Rome .
The long jumpers from the United States won two gold and bronze medals in this competition. World champion was the defending champion and four-time Olympic champion in 1984 ( 100 meters / 200 meters / 4 × 100 m / long jump ) Carl Lewis . At these world championships, Lewis also defended his two world championship titles with the US sprint relay and over 100 meters. Second place went to the reigning European champion and European record holder Robert Emmijan from the Soviet Union . Bronze went to Larry Myricks .
Attempted manipulation by judges
The Italians Giovanni Evangelisti killed himself with his last - m at 8.38 measured - jump first to the bronze medal, relegating the Americans Larry Myricks , who previously meters with 8.33 behind Carl Lewis and Robert Emmiyan had occupied third place . Evangelisti was therefore initially awarded the bronze medal.
Computer evaluations, including by the German Helmar Hommel , showed in retrospect that Evangelisti's last jump could have been a maximum of 7.80 m, so that the judges made a conscious wrong decision in favor of their compatriot Evangelisti. Evangelisti, who was probably not involved, was subsequently ranked fourth with his real best jump of 8.19 m, while Myricks received the bronze medal.

qualification
4th September 1987
38 participants competed in two groups for the qualifying round. The qualifying distance for direct entry into the final was 7.75 m and was probably set a little too low, because seventeen athletes exceeded this mark (highlighted in light blue), making the final field significantly larger than the usual number of twelve jumpers.
Group A
Bruny Surin, later very successful as a sprinter and later a career as a politician, failed to make a valid attempt
