August 7, 2006, 5:45 p.m.

25 participants competed in two groups for the qualifying round. The qualification height for the direct entry into the final was 2.28 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. By placing three athletes tied in eleventh place, a total of thirteen participants could compete in the final (highlighted in light green). Ultimately, 2.23 m skipped without any unsuccessful attempts was sufficient for qualification.

final

European champion Andrei Silnow

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.
