final
August 9, 2006, 6:10 p.m.
The 2004 Olympic champion Stefan Holm was clearly favored in front of the home crowd. In an exciting final, however, the young Andrei Silnow had the best form of the day and mastered every height in the first attempt. The real surprise was the silver medal for the experienced Tomáš Janků, whose performance was not to be expected. For Holm and his compatriot Linus Thörnblad only the third and fourth place remained.
