qualification

The eleven participants took part in a joint qualifying round. The qualification height for the direct entry into the final was 1.90 m. Since only five jumpers jumped this height (highlighted in light blue), the final field was filled with the next best jumpers to ten athletes (highlighted in light green). So finally 1.85 m was enough for the final. With a skipped 1.80 m, only one athlete was eliminated.
