The Russian world record holder and three-time world champion Jelena Isinbayeva became a mother last year and took a career break in 2014 and 2015. Among the favorites, the US vice-world champion belonged in 2013 and Olympic champion in 2012 Jennifer Suhr, the Cuban world year best World Cup -Third and Olympic silver medalist Yarisley Silva, the Brazilian Fabiana Murer second place in the annual global leaderboard and WM -Fünfte, the Russian European champion and fifth of the world's annual top list Anselika Sidorova and also the Greek Nikoleta Kyriakopoulou as Vice European Champion in 2012 and third in the world annual best list.

With a jump of 4.70 m, seven athletes were still in the competition when 4.80 m was put on. So far, Suhr, her compatriot Sandi Morris, the Swede Angelica Bengtsson and Murer have stayed without any failure. The British Holly Bradshaw had one failed jump, while Silva and Kyriakopoulou had two failed attempts. Kyriakopoulou was the first to be successful with her first jump over 4.80 m, Murer and Silva followed in the second attempt. The four other jumpers still in the race tore three times each. The medal winners were already determined, but their order still had to be determined. The further placements were also clarified due to the failed attempt rule. Angelica Bengtsson, Sandi Morris and Jennifer Suhr finished fourth, Holly Bradshaw finished seventh. Bengtsson had set a new Swedish record with her 4.70 m.

The new jump height was now 4.85 m. Both Murer and Silva skipped them with their first attempts. The Brazilian had set a new South American record. Kyriakopoulou, on the other hand, tore once and saved her two remaining jumps for the next height. In the intermediate standings, Murer was ahead, she had a missed jump, with Silva there were three. The decision was still pending when 4.90 m was required. This new jump height was in the absolute top range and it was very difficult for all the remaining participants. Nikoleta Kyriakopoulou was the first to pass. The Greek tore the 4.90 m with both of her remaining attempts and won bronze by jumping 4.80 m. Murer also tried in vain at this height until the end. Only Yarisley Silva was successful with her third jump and thus secured the world title. Fabiana Murer was the winner of the silver medal. Silva finally tried her hand at 5.01 m, which was too high for her here.
