Following the revision of Jiri Sykora s second-round mark of 7.35m, which was originally listed as 7.98m and corrected during the lunchtime break between the shot put and high jump, Belarusian Yury Yaremich led proceedings with an impressive 7.80m with a tail wind of 2.1m/s, the longest jump ever produced by a decathlete in the history of the IAAF World Junior Championships.
