Before 1960 there had been four clearances of seven feet or better (including indoor competitions). In Olympic year John Thomas had 20 marks at that level, including five world records, culminating in his clearance of 2.23 in the US Trials. The USSR had a good squad of jumpers with 18 year-old Brumel (2.17), Bolshov (2.15) and Shavlakadze (2.11). Reigning champion Dumas and steady Swede Petersson were thought to be those likely to get closest to Thomas. When the bar was raised to 2.09, these were the six jumpers remain- ing. Thomas, Bolshov and Shavlakadze cleared first time, while Dumas, suffering with a back problem and an even more painful knee injury, failed. Pettersson got over on his last attempt but failed at 2.12, a height which almost defeated Brumel who succeeded on his final attempt. Thomas passed at 2.12, which the other two Soviets again cleared first time. At 2.14 Shavlakadze, the third man to jump, cleared – a lifetime best for the Georgian. Thomas had to clear to stay ahead. He failed, but got over next time, after Bolshov and Brumel had cleared. Shavlakadze then made 2.16 first time, and Brumel cleared on his second attempt. Bolshov failed and Thomas, now far from the con- fident athlete he had been at lower heights, also failed, thereby winning bronze.
