The long jump has been contested in the Olympics since 1896 for men and 1948 for women. The current world record holder for senior men is Mike Powell – a member of Wellington Masters Athletics for the 2014/15 season.
At the World Masters Athletics Champs, the event only became available to women from 1977.
To be valid for a record, a time must be run with a wind reading of +2.0 or less.
