The women's long jump at the 2025 World Athletics Championships was held at the National Stadium in Tokyo on 13 and 14 September 2025.[1]
Summary
Defending champion Ivana Vuleta, now Španović, did not participate. An achilles tendon injury caused her to change her focus to triple jump as she reached the Masters age group. 2023 World Championship silver medalist Tara Davis-Woodhall returned as the Olympic Champion and undefeated world leader for the season. Yet she was ranked only second in the world rankings, behind Malaika Mihambo. In the qualifying round, Davis-Woodhall was one of five auto-qualifiers to the final. She was the only one to auto qualify for the final with her first qualification jump.
Davis-Woodhall achieved an impressive 7.08 m in the very first jump of the final. Natalia Linares would come out of the first round in second place with her 6.75 m. Both Mihambo and Pauline Hondema would make 6.60 m in the same round. In the second round, Mihambo took over second position with a 6.92 m, and Linares improved to 6.85 m. In the third round, Mihambo improved again to 6.95 m and Hilary Kpatcha jumped a 6.82 m. After the re-ordering, for the third straight round, Mihambo improved, this time to 6.99 m. Davis-Woodhall then jumped the 7.13 m winning jump. In the fifth round, Linares improved her hold on third to 6.92 m.[2][3][4]
