qualification
July 6, 2016, 5:50 p.m.
27 participants competed in two groups for the qualifying round. The qualification height for the direct entry into the final was 5.65 m. No jumper had to approach this height. Ten athletes had jumped 5.50 m, one participant had only got on at 5.60 m and had crossed this height, another athlete who had stood 5.35 m and missed 5.50 m was still in the competition. The jury decided to cancel the qualifying competition, mainly because of the increasing rain. In addition to the eleven athletes who had crossed at least 5.5 m, all sixteen pole vaulters who had mastered at least 5.35 m without any unsuccessful attempt qualified for the final (highlighted in light green). However, one of the qualified athletes could not compete, so that finally fifteen pole vaulters contested the final on the day after next.
