2012 IAAF World Indoor Championships – Men's long jump
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The men's long jump at the 2012 IAAF World Indoor Championships was held on 9–10 March 2012 at the Ataköy Athletics Arena.
Participants tied for first place with jumps of 8.23 metres, so their second-best jumps were used to break the tie, with the second-best jumps differing by 6 cm. This was the first time such a tiebreaker had been used in the men's long jump at these championships. It would happen again twelve years later at the 2024 championships.
