Long Jump, Women

Date	14 October 1964
Status	Olympic
Location	Kokuritsu Kyogijo, Shinjuku, Tokyo
Participants	31 from 20 countries

The heavy favorite was Soviet Tatyana Shchelkanova. She had set the world record in 1961 and had bettered that mark with two ratified world records in 1962 and early 1964. She had also won the 1962 European Championships. But she was somewhat of a non-factor in Tokyo. The qualifying was led by Britain’s Mary Rand with an Olympic record 6.52 (21-4¾). She led in the final with 6.59 (21-7½) in round one and was never headed. Her 6.63 (21-9) in round four settled the gold medal, but she improved that with a world record 6.76 (22-2¼) in the fifth round. Irena Szewińska-Kirszenstein (POL) moved into second in round two with 6.43 (21-1¼), and twice improved that, finishing with 6.60 (21-8). Shchelkanova finished with 6.42 (21-0¾) in third, well off her world record of 6.70 (21-11¾).
