world Women High Jump History

Venue: Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum 100,000.
10 competitors from 6 nations.
Leading contenders were world record holder Gisolf (1.62), together with Didriksen and Shiley who had jumped 1.60 in the US Trials. Shiley and Didriksen left the opposition at 1.62 and both cleared a world record 1.65 at the first attempt, Shiley with her scissors style, and Didriksen with the western roll. At 1.67 both failed, though Didriksen cleared the bar but clipped the upright. Shiley then cleared 1.67 in the jump-off and was matched by Didriksen. At this juncture the officials decided that Didriksen was jumping head-first over the bar, which was then illegal, and her 1.67 clearance was ruled a miss. Didriksen later claimed that she had not varied her style all day.
