A duel was expected between the Olympic champion Rosemarie Ackermann from the GDR and the Italian world record holder Simeoni, who were the top favorites in any case, even without an Olympic boycott. Another candidate for a medal was Ackermann's team colleague Jutta Kirst, who finished fourth at the last European Championships in 1978 . The third of these EM Brigitte Holzapfel from the Federal Republic of Germany would certainly have been a candidate here, but had to pass because of the boycott.
In the final, seven athletes remained in the race after jumping 1.91 m. Four of them, including surprisingly Ackermann, failed at the height of 1.94 m. Simeoni, Urszula Kielan from Poland and Kirst competed for the medals. Simeoni and Kielan jumped the height of 1.94 m in the first round, Kirst needed two attempts. The following 1.97 m was too high for Kielan and Kirst, Simeoni, on the other hand, took this Olympic record height with her second attempt. With that the medals were distributed. Urszula Kielan won silver, Jutta Kirst bronze because of the higher number of failed attempts. Olympic champion Sara Simeoni set the new world record height of 2.02 m, but tore the bar three times.
Sara Simeoni was the first Italian Olympic champion in the high jump .
Urszula Kielan won the first medal for Poland in this discipline.
