There were a total number of 40 participating athletes, with two qualifying groups and the final held on Saturday 5 September 1987. Italian Giovanni Evangelisti originally won the bronze with a jump of 8.37 m, but it was later determined that Italian field officials had entered a fake result for a jump of 7.85m.
