qualification
August 6, 2002
29 participants competed in two groups for the qualifying round. The qualification height for the direct entry into the final was 2.26 m. None of the athletes went to this height after the decision about participation in the finals had already been made. The top twelve high jumpers reached the final. Due to the equal placements of four athletes in twelfth place, a total of fifteen participants could take part in the final (highlighted in light green), one of whom waived his right to start. After all, if there were not too many failed attempts, a skipped 2.15 m was sufficient for qualification.
