The same three Americans competed as they had in Barcelona – Carl Lewis, Mike Powell, and Joe Greene. Mike Powell had been the best jumper in the world in 1993-94, but was surpassed in 1995 by Cuban Iván Pedroso. Pedroso was World Champion in 1995, succeeding Powell, who had won in 1991 and 1993. But Pedroso was not at his best in Atlanta, recovering from a hamstring injury. He made the final but could finish only 12th. Powell was also fighting hamstring problems in Atlanta and was less than his best. Lewis was now past his prime and barely qualified, standing 15th after two qualifying jumps, and only making the final with his last jump of 8.29 (27-2½). France’s Emmanuel Bangué led in round one with 8.19 (26-10½), with Powell moving into second with 8.17 (26-9¾) in round two. In round three, Lewis produced his big one – 8.50 (27-10¾). He did not get close to this again, passing the fourth and sixth rounds. In the sixth round, the drama surrounded Powell, considered the only man capable of surpassing that mark, but he fouled, and Lewis had his fourth consecutive gold medal in the event, equaling the mark of Al Oerter in the discus throw.
