The men's long jump world record has been held by just four individuals for the majority of time since the IAAF started to ratify records. The first mark recognized by the IAAF in 1912, the 7.61 m ( 24 ft 11 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) performance by Peter O'Connor in August 1901, stood just short of 20 years (nine years as an IAAF record).
