The women's long jump at the 2016 IAAF World Indoor Championships took place on March 18, 2016.

For a little over a minute, Reese held the lead based on the tie breaking second best jump.

With her one remaining jump, Reese pulled out the big gun, letting out a scream as she boomed her 7.22 m (23 ft 8+1⁄4 in) winner, just 1 cm below her indoor personal best, set to win this championship 4 years earlier, also on her last jump.

[3] Behind the battle for gold, Lorraine Ugen was in third place after the first round with a 6.62.

Janay DeLoach Soukup moved into bronze medal position with her second round 6.80 which also held up until the fifth round fireworks where Ugen flew out to a 6.93 National Record.
