qualification

August 15, 2014, 10:35 a.m.

22 participants competed in two groups for the qualification round. The qualification height for the direct entry into the final was 1.94 m. Only ten athletes jumped 1.89 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 ten high jumpers had qualified for the final. Behind them were five athletes tied who had jumped 1.85 m without any unsuccessful attempt. Fifteen participants were entitled to take part in the finals (highlighted in light green).
