He improved that on his second jump to a National Record equalling 8.18. Still in the same round, Americans Marquis Dendy and Jeff Henderson improved to the top two places, Dendy with a 8.26 and Henderson edging into second with an 8.19. Neither improved after that. In the third round, Fabrice Lapierre jumped a continental record 8.25 to break up the duo, his 8.25 just 1 cm behind Dendy. Huang Changzhou also equalled Henderson with a personal best 8.19, but Henderson held the tiebreaker. Over the next two round, Henderson improved his tiebreaker advantage but could not improve his best. On his final jump, Huang improved his personal best again to 8.21 to take the bronze medal. The top 5 competitors were only separated by 8 cm. So close was the competition, minus their best jumps, Dendy would have finished in 5th position and Lapierre 11th, not even making the final.
