doping

There was a doping case in the high jump.

The Russian Iwan Uchow , initially a bronze medalist, was part of a doping program with anabolic steroids together with eleven other Russian athletes in 2012 and 2013 . The basis for these findings was the McLaren Report commissioned by the International Court of Justice for Sports . Iwan Uchow was suspended for four years, his results between July 16, 2012 and December 31, 2015 were canceled, including his Olympic victory in 2012 and his third place at these European championships.

The Czech Jaroslav Bába , who was only entitled to the bronze medal many years late and who was not allowed to take part in the award ceremony , was particularly disadvantaged .

qualification

August 13, 2014, 10:07 am

23 participants competed in two groups for the qualifying round. The qualification height for the direct entry into the final was 2.28 m. Only eleven athletes jumped 2.23 m, which made it clear that the qualification could be canceled here, because at least twelve participants had to be determined for the final. Addressing the actual skill level would not change the situation. These eleven high jumpers had qualified for the final. Behind them were three athletes tied who had jumped 2.19 m without any unsuccessful attempt. Fourteen participants were entitled to take part in the finals (highlighted in light green).

Group A

Mickaël Hanany had too many failed attempts by jumping 2.19 m and was eliminated
