world Women High Jump History

Venue: Sydney Olympic Stadium. Capp.: 115,000.

38 Competitors from 27 countries.

Among the possible medallists, only Russians Lapina and Kuptsova failed to qualify. Seven of the 13 finalists cleared 1.96, and Yelesina, Bergqvist and Pantelimon were the only jumpers to progress to 1.99 with a clean slate. Yelesina’s first-time clearance put her in the lead from Cloete, while Bergqvist and Pantelimon cleared second time around. Yelesina then cleared 2.01 without touching the bar, while Cloete made her second clearance in a row while shaking the bar. No- one could clear 2.03 though Bergqvist barely touched the bar on her final attempt. Yelesina had emerged in 1988, jumping 1.98, improving to 2.02 in 1990 and never returning to 2m jumping until 1999.
