August 23, 1958, 9 a.m.
The eighteen participants competed in a joint qualifying round. The qualification height for the direct entry into the final was 1.93 m. Sixteen athletes jumped this mark (highlighted in light blue) and entered the final on the next day. Only two jumpers were eliminated and it is difficult to understand why qualifications were even set in this constellation, which existed in almost all jumping and throwing disciplines.
