Overview by IAAF    EDMONTON STADIUM
After a moderate season and an unconvincing qualifying round, Pedroso notched up a ninth successive world title indoors or out with leaps of 8.35 and 8.40. The Cuban produced the first good jump in the final with 8.23 in round two. The top US challenger, Stringfellow, fouled on his first two jumps and did well to move into the silver medal position with 8.22 in the third. He improved to 8.24, and then with his final effort landed a foul in the region of 8.80. The bronze medal was determined by the second best jumps of Calado and Pate, who had each cleared 8.21. Calado edged the American, 8.18 to 8.09.
 These are the results of the Men's Long Jump event at the 2001 World Championships in Athletics in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
 
  Long Jump 11 August
Men's Long Jump Final
Cuba’s Ivan PEDROSO took his fourth outdoor World long jump title. None of his opponents, not even America’s Savante STRNGFELLOW (silver) or Portugal’s bronze medallist, Carlos CALADO, ever looked like threatening the Cuban maestro’s string of World wins.
With PEDROSO fouling on his initial effort, the first round was of a particularly low standard and Jamaican James BECKFORD’s 7.94m lead the competition. So it was not until CALADO produced a 8.21m leap in the second round, that the final touched anything like respectability.
Olympic champion PEDROSO took the final in hand four jumps later, capturing the lead with 8.23m. In the same round Kareem STREETE-THOMPSON of the Cayman Islands and Miguel PATE, the American trials silver medallist, both jumped 8.09m and were followed by Ukraine’s Olexiy LUKASHEVYCH who went 1cm better with 8.10m.
In round three, American champion Savante STRINGFELLOW got himself out of trouble after two fouls, by jumping 8.22m to qualify for the last three attempts and take second position. He increased this distance in the next round by 2cm (8.24m).
PATE in the fifth round jumped into a medal position with 8.21m (w), the same distance as CALADO but with a better second effort (8.09m). However, CALADO rectified this three jumps later by improving his second best to 8.18m and so took back the bronze.
Ending the penultimate round, PEDROSO was now starting to put on a display, and with another large leap increased his best to 8.40 metres.
In the final round, BECKFORD improved to just over 8.00metres for 7th place, a great disappointment for the Commonwealth record holder who is a former silver medallist at both the 1995 Worlds and 1996 Olympics. STREETE-THOMPSON was over 8.00m for the fifth time (8.04m) ending the final in 5th. CALADO who would end the final as Bronze medallist jumped 8.01m.
PEDROSO fouled with his last and although LUKASHEVYCH was given his fifth round jump again (his marker had been moved unintentionally by another athlete’s celebrations), nothing could stop the Cuban who has now won eight world titles - four indoors and four outdoors - taking his fourth consecutive World championships gold medal. STRINGFELLOW was the silver medallist and CALADO took the bronze.
Though PEDROSO gave a great demonstration of jumping, his winning mark of 8.40m was the lowest distance at which the World championship title has ever been won.

Men's Long Jump Qualification
Savante STRINGFELLOW (USA)was the furthest of just two automatic qualifier’s - 8.15m standard - for Saturday’s final with a 8.33 metres first attempt, to lead James BECKFORD of Jamaica (8.18m), the Commonwealth Champion, in group ‘B’ of the two qualification pools.
In this same group, Kareem STREETE-THOMPSON (CAY) 8.08m, Vitaliy SHKURLATOV of Russia (7.85m) and Qatar’s Abdulrahman Al-NUBI (7.85m), were the others to qualify by virtue of being in the overall top 12 when the two qualification pools were combined.
Notable names not qualifying from this group were, Ukraine’s Roman SHCHURENKO, the Olympic bronze medallist and Cuba’s Olympic 7th placer Luis Feliupe MELIZ, who posted 7.74m and 7.69m respectively. The 1999 World bronze medallist Gregor CANKAR of Slovenia had three fouls.
Group “A” could produce no automatic qualifier’s but seven jumpers did proceed from here to the final. Ukraine’s Olexiy LUKASHEVYCH with a first attempt jumped 8.10m which was the best. Three time outdoor World champion and Sydney gold medallist, Ivan PEDROSO of Cuba surprisingly needed to take all of his three jumps and proceeded to the final, thanks to an 8.00m dead performance on his first.
Joining STRINGFELLOW, their American team mate from group “B”, in the final, were the other two Americans Dwight PHILLIPS (7.95m) and Michael PATE (7.89m).
Poland’s Grzegorz MARCINISZYN and Portugal’s Carlos CALADO went through with 7.88m and Saudia Arabia’s Hussein AL-SABEE (7.83m) also qualified.
Kader KLOUCHI (7.70m) the French record holder, Danila BURKENYA of Russia (7.63m), whose season’s and personal best is 8.31m, and Romania’s Olympic finalist Bogdan TARUS, were the big names not to qualify from pool “A”.
Overall, this preliminary round was of very poor quality with only 7.83m needed for the final.
