LocationOlympic Stadium, Olympic Park, Sydney, New South Wales
Participants40 from 27 countries

The favorite was again world record holder Jonathan Edwards, with Cuban Yoelbi Quesada considered a threat. The 1999 World Champion, Charles Friedek, was injured but surprisingly made the final, although he did not get a fair mark. Qualifying was led by 1998 Commonwealth Games champion Larry Achike (GBR). He also led the final after round one with 17.29 (56-8¾). Edwards briefly took the lead in round two with 17.37 (57-0), but Russia’s Denis Kapustin surpassed him later in the round with 17.46 (57-3½). But Edwards moved ahead for good in round three with the gold medal winning leap of 17.71 (58-1¼). In the final round, Cuba’s Yoel García took the silver medal from Kapustin with 17.47 (57-3¾).
