Overview by IAAF   Helsinki Olympic Stadium 
An extraordinary standard was evident after the first six jumps of the final, by which time Beverly Kinch’s new Commonwealth record of 6.90 was good enough only for fourth place. The leader on 7.00 was world record holder Cumir, while in second place was Carol Lewis, younger sister of Carl. In round 2, European Junior Champion Daute overtook Cumir with her 7.02. The Romanian countered with 7.15w in the third, but the GDR jumper, only 18, immediately followed with 7.27w despite falling back. The fourth round saw Proskuryakova move into third place on 6.92, into a headwind. Cumir and Daute each produced 7m leaps, but neither improved. Lewis did: 7.04w to go into third. No-one improved in the last two rounds except Proskuryakova, whose final effort of 7.02 solidified her fourth place. Daute finished in style with a windy 7.26.
 These are the official results of the Women's Long Jump event at the 1983 IAAF World Championships in Helsinki, Finland. There were a total number of 34 participating athletes, with two qualifying groups and the final held on Sunday 14 August 1983. The qualification mark was set at 6.40 metres
