Summary
The first round ended with nobody jumping over 8 metres. Indian record holder Murali Sreeshankar, using the mononymous "Sreeshankar", held the lead at 7.96m. In the second round, Steffin McCarter was the first over 8 metres with an 8.04m to open the floodgate. After a Sreeshankar foul, Olympic Champion Miltiadis Tentoglou blasted an 8.30m to take the lead as three more competitors achieved jumps over 8 metres – Marquis Dendy with 8.02m, Maykel Massó with 8.15m, and Simon Ehammer with 8.16m. Halfway through the third round, Wang Jianan joined the group with an 8.03m. Tentoglou jumped farther than all competitors in every round, improving to 8.32m in the fifth round, but the order of the top 8 remained unchanged. On his final attempt, Wang jumped 8.36 m (27 ft 5 in) to leapfrog from fifth to first.
