Wind conditions
In the following summary of results, the wind conditions for the individual jumps are named. The permitted limit is two meters per second. With stronger wind support, the distance will be counted for the competition, but will not be included in the lists of records and the best.
There were only two jumps with an impermissible wind support. One of them did not make it into the final ranking because the triple jumper in question had a better result in his series. The other was the best of 16.72 m of eighth-placed Bulgarian Rostislaw Dimitrov .
