Long Jump, Women

Date	8 – 9 August 1984
Status	Olympic
Location	Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Los Angeles, California
Participants	23 from 17 countries

The Eastern Europe boycott affected the competition as missing was Heike Daute, the 1983 World Champion, who would have been favored. But she might not have won. Romania’s Anișoara Stanciu-Cușmir had set four world records in the long jump in 1982-83, and placed second to Daute at the 1983 Worlds. In the absence of the East Germans and Soviets she was favored and came through. She and Britain’s Sue Hearnshaw were tied after round one with 6.80 (22-3¾). Stanciu-Cușmir’s winning mark came in round four with 6.96 (22-10), while her teammate Valy Ionescu, also a world record setter in 1982, moved into the silver medal position in round five with 6.81 (22-4¼), while Hearnshaw earned the bronze.
