The men's long jump at the 2025 World Athletics Championships was held at the National Stadium in Tokyo on 15 and 17 September 2025.[1]
Summary
Since 2020, defending champion Miltiadis Tentoglou has won almost every major championship. The one exception was Wang Jianan in 2022 and Wang isn't here. Tentoglou is also this year's world leader. The silver medalist behind Tentoglou at both the last championships and the Olympics, Wayne Pinnock is not here while changing allegiance to Turkey.[2] The bronze medalists were Tajay Gayle, the 2019 champion, #11 all time and Mattia Furlani respectively.
Tentoglou was the only one to get through the qualification past 8.15m automatically in one attempt. Lester Lescay got it in two. Nikaoli Williams and Gayle took all three. It took 7.98m to make the final.
In the first round, Gayle put out a mark to beat; 8.33m. Furlani got into the mix with an 8.13m. Bozhidar Sarâboyukov then jumped into second with an 8.19m. Shi Yuhao then equalled Gayle's 8.33m. Because he had the superior second best jump, that took the lead. Tentoglou injured his calf on the second attempt[3] and couldn't advance beyond his third. Gayle did regain the lead by improving his second best jump in the third. Simon Ehammer got over 8 meters in a big way going 8.30m to move into third place. In the fourth round, Gayle solidified the lead by improving one more cm. In the fifth round, Furlani exploded an 8.39 m (27 ft 6+1⁄4 in) to jump over the three leaders to the top of the podium.[4][5]
