A/FA - Attempts/Failed Attempts Competitors: 40 Countries: 26

Nineteen of those eligible to compete had cleared at 2.21 or better prior to the Games, headed by Tarmak at 2.25. A record 14 men cleared 2.15, but nine of those missed at 2.18, the most notable failures being Kęstutis Šapka (URS/LTU) and Hungary’s stiff-backed István Major – both “floppers”. All four successes had been first-time jumps, but no- one got over 2.21 first time. Tarmak was first to clear with his left leg lead straddle, while Junge also cleared second time from the other side of the run-up apron. The 18 year-old Stones then cleared, leaving the bar quivering. Tarmak was the only man to get over 2.23.
