In the second round Pedro Pablo Pichardo took the lead, putting one out to , just one centimeter short of his world lead. Will Claye bounced his best jump in the third round, . In the fourth round Tamgho equalled Pichardo with a , though with the earlier he held the tiebreaker. With two more rounds, would it be enough? Pichardo's in the fifth round was long but meaningless. In the final round, defending champion and reigning Olympic champion Christian Taylor made his best effort to get on the medal stand, but was only good enough for fourth place. With Pichardo holding the last attempt, Tamgho had to make sure. His world leader and personal best left no doubt. It increased his standing as the third best performer ever and moved him up as the third member of the 18-meter club. Pichardo's couldn't compete with that.
