final

August 27, 2004, 8:05 pm

Twelve athletes had qualified for the final, ten of them by qualifying distance, two more by their placements. All three Russian women and one participant each from Australia, Germany, India, Great Britain, Kazakhstan, Sweden, Hungary and the United States were represented. The second American Marion Jones was later disqualified for doping abuse in the wake of the BALCO affair .

Marion Jones prevented Latvia's Ineta Radēviča from participating in the final with her doping fraud. In addition, the German Bianca Kappler would have reached the final battle of the top eight, so she would have had three more attempts.

One of the top favorites would normally have been the French world champion Eunice Barber, who, however, had no chance due to an injury and had already been eliminated in the qualification. The main contender for victory was now the Russian European champion and two-time vice world champion in 2003 and 2001, Tatiana Kotowa. Other medal candidates were the other two Russians Tatjana Lebedewa and Irina Simagina, the Indian World Cup third Anju Bobby George, the British Vice European Champion and World Cup fourth Jade Johnson and the Hungarian Tünde Vaszi as World Cup sixth in 2003, World Cup fourth in 2001 and the European Championship -Third from 2002.

The final was clearly dominated by the three Russian participants from the start. In the first round, both Irina Simagina and Kotowa exceeded the 7-meter mark. Both made an identical 7.05 m while Lebedewa produced an invalid attempt. None of the athletes who did not come from Russia managed to jump over seven meters in the course of the competition. After the first lap, Bobby George was still on the bronze course with 6.83 m. With her second attempt at 7.07 m, Lebedewa moved up ahead of her two compatriots to the top position. Smagina - 7.02 m in passage two - and Lebedewa - 7.05 m in passage five - made more jumps over seven meters. The closest to the three Russians was the Australian Bronwyn Thompson, who reached 6.96 m in her fourth attempt. There was a three-way Russian victory with Tatiana Lebedewa at the top ahead of Irina Simagina and Tatiana Kotowa. Bronwyn Thompson was fourth ahead of Anju Bobby George and Jade Johnson, who reached 6.80 m. Tünde Vaszi was seventh ahead of the German Bianca Kappler.
