Overview by IAAF   1912_olympic_stadium2.jpg 
Frank Irons had followed his 1908 win with US titles in 1909-10, and had won the US Central trials with a relatively modest 6.94, while Harry Worthington, a 20 year-old schoolboy (!) had won the Eastern trials with 7.26. Irons opened group one of the qualifying round with 6.80 – which proved good enough only for ninth place, and was quickly overtaken, first by Allen with 6.94 and then Åberg 7.04. Gutterson then produced the second best jump of all-time, just one centimetre behind O’Connor’s world record, [7.60], which he followed up with a good 7.48 in round 2. In the second group Bricker qualified for the finals with 7.07, which he then improved to 7.21, while Worthington won the final group, but missed catching Åberg by a single centimetre. Gutterson tailed off in the final, but still produced a sixjump series which averaged 7.28 – well ahead of Bricker’s best of 7.21. Åberg improved in the finals to 7.18, but tried too hard in the last round, messing up his run-up to leave the 1-2-3 the same as it had been after the qualifying.
       
Summary by Sports-reference.com      
Frank Irons (USA) was the defending champion and Olympic record holder and in 1912 he won the central U.S. Olympic Trial. He was present at Stockholm and was a slight favorite, having won the AAU Championship in 1909 and 1910. But he did not jump well, placing 5th in Group One of the qualifying, failing to advance to the final, and finishing 9th overall.
In his first jump in qualifying, America’s Albert Gutterson set a new Olympic record with 7.60, which easily qualified him for the final and led the qualifiers. He was joined there by Canada’s Cal Bricker and Sweden’s Georg Åberg. In the final, neither Bricker nor Åberg threatened Gutterson, who won the gold medal although he did not approach his qualifying mark with his final jumps. Bricker did not improve his qualifying mark of 7.21 and placed second. Åberg did improve to 7.18 in the final, but still finished third.
 

        Results          
Gutterson's first jump broke the Olympic record of 7.48 metres by 12 centimetres. He matched the old record with his second jump, but could not better his first mark.
Long Jump Men     Final 12 July        
The top three jumpers after three jumps received another three attempts; only Åberg was able to better his own mark. He wasn't able to match the preliminary marks of Gutterson or Bricker, however, and no change in standings was made in the final three jumps.
