Vilho “Ville” Tuulos (FIN) had the longest mark prior to the Olympics, with 15.48 (50-9½), the second best ever produced. In round one, Luis Brunetto (ARG) jumped 15.425 (50-7¼), bettering his PR and South American record by 27 centimetres. In round two, Anthony “Nick” Winter set an Australian record with 15.18 (49-9¾). He improved on that in round six, with 15.525 (50-11¼), tying the long-standing world record (Dan Ahearn in 1911), to win a very unlikely gold medal. Technically, Winter jumped farther than Ahearn, who recorded 15.52 (50-11), but Winter’s mark was ratified at 15.52.
