world Men High Jump History

Venue: Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum 93,607.
30 competitors from 20 nations.
Qualification
World Rekord: 2.39m Zhu Jianhua, China Eberstadt, West Germany 10th June 1984
Olympic Record: 2.36m Gerd Wessig, East Germany Moscow, Soviet Union 1st August 1980
Dietmar Mögenburg had been the world’s best in 1979, when aged 17. He then became the world record holder at 18 and the European Champion in 1982. Yet the emergence of Zhu had overshadowed the tall (2.01) German, thanks to a series of world records culminating in 2.39 in Germany the month before Los Angeles. None of the medal prospects missed at a height until 2.27, though the FRG’s Carlo Thränhardt had to retire after attempting to compete on a sprained ankle. Eighteen year-old Sjöberg and Commonwealth champion Milt Ottey failed once at 2.27. At 2.29 four cleared, and the three who elected to try 2.31 all cleared the higher height, leaving Nordquist, Ottey and straddler Liu in places five to seven. Sjöberg, in fourth place, moved to second by clearing 2.33 on his second jump after Mögenburg had made it first time. Both the veteran Stones and Zhu missed at 2.33, with bronze going to Zhu because Stones had one failure in his series to 2.31. The Chinese jumper’s concentration was disrupted when waiting for his second attempt, when Steve Ovett collapsed on the edge of the high jump apron. Mögenburg cleared 2.35 first time, his seventh jump of the day without any failures. He then had three reasonable jumps at a world record of 2.40.
