2012 IAAF World Indoor Championships – Men's long jump

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mauro Vinícius da Silva celebrating his win.

The men's long jump at the 2012 IAAF World Indoor Championships was held 9-10 March 2012 at the Ataköy Athletics Arena.

Because the two leaders were tied for first place with jumps of 8.23 metres, they were split based on their second-best jumps which differed by 6 cm. This was the first time this had happened in the men's long jump at these championships. It would happen again twelve years later at the 2024 championships.
