The qualification was carried out in two groups. The qualification height for the direct entry into the final was 1.94 m. No jumper even approached this height, all athletes who had managed 1.92 m assumed that this would be sufficient for the final qualification, because they were among the twelve best. In the end, twelve athletes reached the final with a jump of 1.92 m (highlighted in light green).

final
August 12, 2017, 7:05 p.m. local time (8:05 p.m. CEST )
Some successful athletes from the last few years have not been here in London for various reasons . So missing the Croatian Blanka Vlasic , including double world champion of 2007 / 2009 and Olympic silver medalist from 2008 , the Russian Anna Tschitscherowa , world champion in 2011 and Olympic champion in 2012 , and the Russian world champion of 2015 Marija Kutschina . The Spaniard Ruth Beitia, Olympic champion in 2016 and double European champion of 2014 / 2016 was again among the favorites. However, she was already 38 years old and the question arose about the performance options at that age. The Bulgarian Olympic runner-up and vice European champion Mirela Demirewa as well as the Polish World Cup third from 2015 Kamila Lićwinko also competed with good opportunities. Airinė Palšytė from Lithuania, vice-European champion together with Demirewa, and Marie-Laurence Jungfleisch from Germany, who had achieved placings between five and seven in recent years at World and European Championships and the Olympic Games, were also among the favorites.
Six athletes were still in the competition with a jump height of 1.97 m. Jungfleisch, the Ukrainian Julija Levtschenko and Marija Lassizkene, who started under a neutral flag, were without any failure on their accounts. The two Britons Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Morgan Lake were burdened with one missed jump each, Lićwinko with two missed jumps. Of the co-favorites, Beitia had already failed at 1.92 m, which put her in twelfth place. Demirewa and Palšytė took seventh place with a jump of 1.92 m.
Lassizkene and Levtschenko were now successful with their first jump at 1.97 m. Lićwinko jumped the height on the third attempt. The other three remaining athletes failed three times each. Marie-Laurence Jungfleisch was fourth, Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Morgan Lake finished fifth. Now 1.99 m was laid. Levchenko and Lićwinko both made it the first time. Lassizkene saved her remaining jumps after a failed attempt for the next height. She mastered the now required 2.01 m with her first jump. Levchenko followed suit on her second attempt, while Lićwinko saved her last remaining jump after failing twice at 2.01m.
The decision was made at 2.03 m. Lassizkene jumped the height on her first attempt. Kamila Lićwinko tore 2.03 m in her last remaining attempt and won bronze. Julija Levchenko tried three times in vain and won silver. Marija Lassizkene now had 2.08 m hung up, but it was too high for her here. She was the new world champion and at the same time won the only gold medal of the athletes starting under a neutral flag.
