world Women High Jump History

Venue: Olympic Stadium, Tokyo. Capp.: 57,363 (48,000 seats). -- competitors from -- nations.
By the end of 1963 no jumper other than Balaș had reached 1.80, and she owned all 72 competitive marks at that height or better, as well as the only jump above 1.90 (1.91 in 1961). Balaș won the gold medal after taking five jumps in the final, starting at 1.65, and then jumping 1.71 before progressing to medal-winning heights. Brown was behind Chenchik until clearing 1.80 for silver. The Australian would confirm her status as second best by clearing the six-foot barrier two weeks later. Balaș meanwhile won the gold with 1.82 (and then beat her Olympic record with first time clearances at 1.86 and 1.90 before miss- ing three times at 1.92). Balaș was again the best in 1965 but then suf- fered leg injuries and retired in 1967. She married her coach Ion Soter, and later became president of the Romanian athletics federation.
