final
August 23, 2004, 6:45 p.m.
Fifteen athletes had qualified for the final, all of whom had reached the qualifying distance. Two Greek women and two Russian women were represented, as well as one participant each from Algeria, China, Italy, Jamaica, Cameroon, Cuba, Romania, Senegal, Sudan, Ukraine and Belarus.
The favorite was the two-time Russian world champion from 2001 and 2003, Tatjana Lebedewa, who was one of the most promising medal candidates in the long jump that took place four days later and was ultimately to win gold there. Her strongest competitor was the two-time vice world champion Françoise Mbango Etone from Cameroon. After her strong performance in qualifying, the Greek Chrysopigi Devetzi was certainly to be expected in front of her home crowd. The other group of contenders for top positions included the Italian World Cup third Magdelín Martínez and the Russian World Cup fourth Anna Pjatych.
The final started quite nervously, with seven invalid jumps in the first round. To the delight of the audience, Devetzi led with 14.96 m. In lap two, Mbango Etone with 15.30 m and Jamaican Trecia Smith with 15.02 m gave the first results above the 15-meter mark. It was very close after this round. Devetzi, who could not improve at first, was third, followed by the Cuban native Yamilé Aldama, who started here for Sudan, with 14.90 m ahead of the Algerian Baya Rahouli - 14.86 m, the Italian Magdelín Martínez - 14 , 85 m - and Lebedewa 14.84 m. The third round again brought two widths of more than fifteen meters. The leading Mbango Etone jumped 15.02 m and Devetzi now reach 15.14 m, which she improved to second. Smith stayed third, while Lebedewa moved up to fourth with her 14.95 m. In the fourth round, Mbango Etone again demonstrated their superiority with 15.17 m. With the exception of the first invalid attempt, all of her jumps were more than fifteen meters. Devetzi rose to 15.25 m. This brought her within two inches of Mbango Etones best and underpinned her second place. Aldama pushed Lebedewa from fourth place with her 14.99 m. There was only seven centimeters between third place for Smith and fifth for Lebedewa, and each athlete had two tries. Lebedewa used this. In round five, she exceeded Smith's best by two centimeters with her 15.04 m and was third. Tatjana Lebedewa's last jump was 15.14 m, with which she won bronze eleven centimeters behind Chrysopigi Devetzi. The Olympic champion was Françoise Mbango Etone with her 15.30 m from the second round. Fourth place went to Trecia Smith in front of Yamilé Aldama, Baya Rahouli and Magdelín Martínez.
