Qualification
In May 1912, George Horine had become the first man to clear 2m when winning the US Western Olympic Trials, In doing so he popu- larised the Western Roll as the style to use (at least for the next 20-25 years). A hiccup occurred at the Eastern Trials when he placed only fifth with 1.84, but this was considered an aberration, and Horine remained firm favourite to win in Stockholm. When the bar was raised to 1.91, Horine was accompanied by Liesche, the German Champion who had a best of 1.85 indoors in 1911, and Richards, who had a best of 1.855. He had been selected by win- ning the Central US Trials though many felt he should have been left off the team. Liesche cleared first time, while Richards climbed over on his third attempt, leaving Horine with the bronze. At 1.93, the big (1.88/93kg) Richards cleared first time with 5cm to spare, but Liesche was delayed on his last jump by the start of a race and the stadium band. After nine minutes he was told to hurry up and naturally enough failed to clear.
