Status | Olympic |
Location | Estadio Olímpico Universitario, Ciudad de México |
Participants | 27 from 19 countries |
The rarified air of Ciudad de México had the pundits expecting a world record and they were not disappointed. The favorites should have been the 1966 champions at the Europeans and Commonwealth Games – Irena Szewińska-Kirszenstein (POL) and defending gold medalist Mary Rand (GBR) – but Rand missed the Games through injury and Szewińska-Kirszenstein failed to reach the final. This left the field somewhat open and in round one Romania’s Viorica Viscopoleanu jumped a world record 6.82 (22-4½) and that settled the gold medal. The other medalists were also settled in round one. Sheila Sherwood (GBR) jumped 6.60 (21-8), bettering that in round five with 6.68 (21-11) for the silver; while Soviet Tatyana Talysheva jumped 6.55 (21-6) in round one and went 6.66 (21-10¼) in round two for her bronze medal winning leap.
