Bragg was expected to win after setting a world record of 4.81 in the US Trials, and was one of 10 men to clear the qualifying height of 4.40. Dimitar Khlebarov (BUL), Andrzej Krzesiński (POL) and Morris were added to the final after clearing 4.30 first time, while Victor Sillon (FRA) and Yorgos Roubanis also made 4.30 but did not qualify. Dave Clark (USA) and Vladimir Bulatov (URS), both 4.60 vaulters, failed to make the final – Bulatov being carried off after sustaining an injury while warming up. Eight men cleared 4.50, with unheralded Günther Malcher leading. Malcher went out at the next height, with just Landström, Morris, Bragg (first time), and Cruz (second attempt) clear- ing 4.55. Only Bragg and Morris went over 4.60, leaving Landström with the bronze. Bragg had a good clearance at 4.70, while Morris was close only on his last attempt. Bragg tried a world record of 4.82 and his third failure took place more than six hours after the competition had begun.
