The men's long jump at the 2024 Summer Olympics was held in Paris, France, on 4 and 6 August 2024. This was the 30th time that the event is contested at the Summer Olympics.
Defending Olympic champion Miltiadis Tentoglou returned the other medalists as the world leader. Tentoglou was also the 2023 World Champion and 2022 silver medalist. Wang Jianan won in 2022, Simon Ehammer won bronze and is #2 for the 2024. 2023 silver medalist Wayne Pinnock jumped well indoors in 2024 but didn't quite match it outdoors. 19 year old Mattia Furlani showed several good results in 2024.[1]
Tentoglou only needed one jump to auto qualify for the final. Radek Juška took two. Wang could see how the competition was developing and saved energy by only taking one, 8.12m, just short of the auto. It took 7.90m to make the final.[2]
Early in the first round, Furlani put pressure on the field, starting off with an 8.34m. Jacob Fincham-Dukes got close to 8, with a 7.95m. Tentoglou's first jump put him into second with 8.27m. Wang then pushed Fincham-Dukes off the podium with his 7.96m. In the second round, Simon Batz moved into third at 8.07m. That lasted two jumps until Ehammer jumped 8.20m. Tentoglou shuffled the deck, blasting . Two jumpers later, Pinnock finished the order with 8.36m. Tentoglou backed up his winner with an 8.36m in the fourth round, Furlani popped another 8.34m in the fifth, but nobody improved.[3] It was Tentoglou's second successive gold medal.
The men's long jump has been present on the Olympic athletics programme since the inaugural edition in 1896.
