final
August 11, 2006, 6:30 p.m.
In front of the home crowd, the defending champion Kajsa Bergqvist was considered a high favorite, but in a high-class competition with four jumpers over 2.01 m, like her compatriot Stefan Holm , she had to be satisfied with bronze in the men's high jump . The winner was the heptathlete Tia Hellebaut, who was able to set two national records in the final. In the last jump of the competition, the Bulgarian Wenelina Wenewa failed just 2.05 m and thus missed the first high jump gold at the European Championships after Stefka Kostadinowa in 1986 for Bulgaria.
Deirdre Ryan jumped the Irish national record with 1.92 m in qualifying, but did not get into these areas in the final and was thirteenth.
