The weather for the long jump competition at the Tokyo 1964 Olympic Game was definitely far from perfect, unless you were a Welsh long jumper competing for Great Britain. Lynn Davies, who had only been able to qualify to the finals in his last jump of the elimination stage, delivered an impressive 8.07m in the rainy National Olympic Stadium in Tokyo to win gold. Ralph Harold Boston from the USA with 8.03m took silver, while Igor Ter-Ovanesyan from the USSR won bronze with 7.99m.
