Later in the round Brittney Reese pulled close with her 6.75 m. With her 6.96 m, Ivana Španović jumped into the lead near the beginning of the second round. Klishina followed with a 6.88 m improvement. Near the end of the third round, Reese hit her 7.02 m (23 ft 0 1⁄4 in) which turned out to be the winner.

On her final attempt, defending champion and Olympic champion Tianna Bartoletta moved from 5th to third with a 6.97 m jump.
