final

September 28, 2000, 6:45 p.m.

Twelve athletes had qualified for the final, two of them by qualifying distance, the other ten by their placements. Two Australians, two Cubans and two Ukrainians competed against one participant each from Bulgaria, Germany, Portugal, Romania, Russia and the USA.

The clear favorite was the reigning world champion Iván Pedroso from Cuba. There were a number of athletes with prospects for top places. This included the Spanish vice world champion Yago Lamela. European champion Kirill Sossunow from Russia, the Slovenian World Cup third Gregor Cankar and here in his home country the Australian World Cup fourth Jai Taurima. The African champion Younès Moudrik from Morocco and the Asian champion Hussein Taher Al-Sabee from Saudi Arabia were certainly not to be underestimated. However, Lamela, Sossunow, Cankar, Moudrik and also Al-Sabee were eliminated in the qualification. There was a final in Sydney with a very open outcome.

After an invalid jump by Pedrosos in the first round, Ukrainian Oleksij Lukaschewytsch took the lead with 8.08 m. But his lead did not last long, as Pedroso reached 8.34 m in the second lap. Local hero Jai Taurima jumped just as far in the third attempt and was even ahead of the Cuban with the better second jump. The German Kofi Amoah Prah moved up to third place with 8.19 m, ahead of the Ukrainian Roman Schchurenko, who improved to 8.14 m. In the fourth round, Pedroso took the lead again with 8.41 m. Taurima improved to 8.40 m, so it remained very tight. Prah was pushed out of third place by Lukashevytsch with 8.22 m. In the fifth attempt Lukashevytsch put on another four centimeters and jumped 8.26 m. Taurima was actually able to counter again on this penultimate lap. With 8.49 m he took the lead again. In the last attempt, the Ukrainian Roman Schchurenko achieved 8.31 m and ousted his compatriot Lukashevytsch from bronze. Iván Pedroso finally managed to jump 8.55 m, which secured him the Olympic victory. Jai Taurima won silver, Roman Schurenko bronze. Oleksij Lukaschewytsch was fourth ahead of Kofi Amoah Prah and the Australian Peter Burge.

Iván Pedroso was Cuba's first medalist and Olympic champion in this discipline.

For the first time with the exception of 1980 , when the Olympic Games in Moscow a . a, had been boycotted by the United States, no US athlete could win a medal in the long jump .
