Contents

In the final, Olympic champion Maurren Higa Maggi took the early lead as the first jumper in the competition. After three fouls, the second legal jump of the competition took Brittney Reese into the lead with a 6.92m. Tatyana Lebedeva's second round 6.97m put her into the lead for six jumps until Reese could take her third jump. Her season best tying 7.10 m (23 ft 3+12 in) settled the competition. No athlete improved over the final three rounds.

In 2017, silver medalist Lebedeva's 2008 Olympic doping sample was retested and found positive for dehydrochlormethyltestosterone (turinabol). Her Olympic medal was revoked. Ordinarily, a doping violation is followed by a two year ban which would include this championship. No changes in medals have been announced yet.
