world Women Long Jump History

Venue: Stadio Olimpico, Roma. Capp.: 65,000.

30 competitors from 19 nations.

Claus was favoured after twice breaking the world record at the German Olympic trials. Mary Bignal (GBR) led the qualifiers with 6.33, but fouled twice in the final before producing a safe but short 6.01 for ninth place. After three rounds Claus (6.18) and reigning champion Krzesińska (6.17) were led by Krepkina, co-holder of the 100m world record, with 6.22. The compact (1.59/58kg) Ukrainian cemented the gold medal with her fourth round jump of 6.37. Krzesińska jumped 6.25 and then 6.27 to win the silver. The winner was competing in her third Olympics – she was a mem-ber of the USSR 4x100 team which finished fourth in 1952-56-60. Her winning jump was the second best of all-time.
