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] The winning margin was 7 cm.

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]
