The Women's long jump competition at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia was held at the Stadium Australia on 29 September 2000.[1]

In the final, German Heike Drechsler finished in first place, with a jump distance on 6.99 metres (22 ft 11 in). Italian Fiona May finished in second, while American Marion Jones claimed the third place.[2] On 5 October 2007, Jones admitted that she had taken performance-enhancing drugs.[3] As a result, she was disqualified and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) stripped her of bronze medal on 9 December.[4] Russian Tatyana Kotova, who originally finished in fourth place, was instead awarded the bronze.[4] Kotova was later found guilty of doping, but her Olympic results were unaffected.[5]
