world Men High Jump History

Venue: Stade Olympique de Colombes 45,000.
26 competitors from 16 nations.
Qualification
World Record: 2.03m Harold Osborn, United States, Urbana, Unites States, May 27, 1924
Olympic Record: 1.936m Austin Saunders, United States, Antwerp, Belgium August 17, 1920
Osborn and Brown dominated the world scene in 1924, producing 15 of the 16 best marks for that year. Osborn cleared every height first time, and had company from Brown until the winning height. Lewden, a small man (1.69) with great spring thrilled the crowd by winning a medal, and jumped within 1cm of his national record for third place. Osborn attempted a world record of 2.02, and on his second jump cleared the bar, but dislodged it with his hand. This was ironic as on occasion he would hit the crossbar, and with great dexterity, set it back on the uprights with his hand, a practice which was soon outlawed. Places fourth to seventh were determined by jump-offs.
