Olympic champion Heike Henkel, Germany

final

Date: August 8, 1992

Sixteen athletes qualified directly for the final. Two Cubans, two Germans and two starters from the United Team met one athlete each from Australia, Bulgaria, Japan, Latvia, Austria, Poland, Romania, Slovenia, the USA and Great Britain.

The German world and European champion Heike Henkel was initially considered the favorites . One competitor was the Bulgarian world record holder Stefka Kostadinova, who was no longer in top form from her strong 1987 season. The two USSR high jumpers, who finished second and third at the last World Championships, did not compete here in Barcelona . The Romanian Alina Astafei, who was another medal candidate alongside Olga Turtschak from the United Team, had greatly improved in the Olympic year.

After jumping 1.94 m, only six finalists were left in the race. In addition to Henkel and Kostadinowa, the Cubans Silvia Costa and Ioamnet Quintero, Astafei and the Austrian Sigrid Kirchmann had also mastered this height. Costa, Kirchmann and Kostadinowa failed because of the now 1.97 m. Astafei was at the top with no failures. Quintero had torn once, and Henkel even twice. Astafei and Henkel jumped 2.00 m in the first attempt. Ioamnet Quintero tore the bar twice and took the last attempt to the next height of 2.02 m. But this time, too, she didn't make the jump, so she got the bronze medal. Astafei also failed with her three jumps at 2.02 m, Henkel, on the other hand, took the height in the first attempt. Heike Henkel was Olympic champion, Alina Astafei won silver. Henkel failed three times at the new Olympic record height of 2.06 m. Stefka Kostadinowa was fourth ahead of Sigrid Kirchmann and Silvia Costa.

Heike Henkel won the fourth German gold medal in the women's high jump , whereby the two victories by Ulrike Meyfarth in 1972 and 1984 for the Federal Republic of Germany and Rosemarie Ackermann's gold medal in 1976 for the GDR are counted here together. According to this calculation, Germany was on par with the USA in terms of the number of victories in the number of Olympic victories in the women's high jump.

Ioamnet Quintero won the first Cuban medal in this discipline.
