Happily recovered from the injuries which had led to the loss of his Olympic crown the previous year, Sotomayor further enhanced his claims to being considered the greatest of all high jumpers by regaining this title. Five men were still left in as the bar was raised to 2.37 but the Cuban was the only one successful. Another remarkable big time competitor, Partyka medalled for the third consecutive time, taking silver on countback against Forsyth.

Men High Jump History

Grant, ever the showman, came in at the greatest starting height ever attempted (2.32), daring indeed for a man who hadn’t gone higher than 2.28 all season. His gamble appeared to be paying off when his first time clearance took him into the lead, but the next height of 2.35 eluded him and he had to settle for equal fourth place with European champion Hoen.
