Overview by IAAF  1988_olympic_stadium.jpg
The qualifying was led by the three Soviet jumpers, topped by Lapshin (17.37), with World Champion Markov the only other jumper to reach the qualifying distance of 16.90. A leap of 16.29 sufficed to make it through to the final. Kovalenko was the first to exceed 17m in the final with 17.42, to be followed by Protsenko with 17.38, both men using the board well with perhaps 5cm to spare. Markov, possibly the best power jumper ever, then produced the winning jump – 17.61 – with the three phases measuring 6.00, 5.40 and 6.21. Only Kovalenko with 17.40 in round 2, and Protsenko with 17.31 in the fourth round, were able to respond positively to Markov’s jump until the final round. Lapshin, the third Soviet finally got his run-up almost right, floating out to 17.52 with his last jump – measured from take-off at 17.69.
Summary by Sports-reference.com
At the 1985 TAC Meet, Willie Banks jumped 17.97 (58-11½) for a world record, which was only the second non-altitude assisted world record since 1960. But he was no longer at his best in 1988, although he made the US team and the final. The favorite was Bulgaria’s Khristo Markov, 1987 World Champion and 1986 European Champion. He was challenged in the final by the three Soviets – Igor Lapshin, Aleksandr Kovalenko, and Oleg Protsenko. In round one of the final, Markov opened with 17.61 (57-9½) and that would settle the gold medal, as nobody surpassed it. Lapshin was in fourth for much of the day but produced his best jump, 17.52 (57-5¾), in the final round, to get silver. Kovalenko and Protsenko had their best marks in round one, which earned them third and fourth, respectively.
