# 2017 World Championships in Athletics – Women's long jump

The women's long jump at the 2017 World Championships in Athletics was held at the Olympic Stadium on 9 and 11 August.

## Summary

In 2016, Darya Klishina was notable as the only Russian athlete allowed to participate in the Olympic track and field schedule, finishing 9th. Here as an Authorised Neutral Athlete, she made her mark on the athletic field taking the early lead with a 6.78 metre jump in the first round. Later in the round Brittney Reese pulled close with her 6.75 metres. With her 6.96 metres, Ivana Španović jumped into the lead near the beginning of the second round. Klishina followed with an improvement to 6.88 metres. Near the end of the third round, Reese hit her 7.02 metres which turned out to be the winner. Reese didn't hit another fair jump, but didn't need to. Klishina improved in the fourth round but didn't change her place until her 7.00 metres in the fifth round put her into silver. On her final attempt, defending champion and Olympic champion Tianna Bartoletta moved from fifth to third with a 6.97 metre jump. Klishina joined Sergey Shubenkov as the second medalist of the Authorised Neutral Athletes, both silver.

Reese became the second athlete after Valerie Adams to win a World Championship in the same event four times.
