The women's long jump at the 2024 Summer Olympics was held in Paris, France, on 6 and 8 August 2024.

The 2023 World Championships revealed a new crop of medalists; gold was Ivana Španović, silver was Tara Davis-Woodhall and bronze was Alina Rotaru-Kottmann.

Then Davis-Woodhall advanced the lead to 6.93 m. Near the end of the round, Moore hit her marks so perfectly the officials had to review it, but she was ruled fair for a 6.96 m. In the second round, Mihambo improved slightly to 6.81 m, only to see Larissa Iapichino push her out of third place with a 6.87 m moments later.

When Mihambo failed to improve on her final attempt, Davis-Woodhall knew she had the gold.

She took a lackluster final attempt, stood up to wave to the crowd then fell back into the pit to do a snow angel in the sand.
