world Men High Jump History

Venue: Centennial Olympic Stadium, Seoul 69,950.
27 competitors from 18 nations.
Javier Sotomayor, the world’s best, missed the Seoul Games through yet another (smaller) boycott, leaving the ’87 World Championship medallists – Sjöberg, Paklin and Avdyeyenko – as the most plausible gold medal candidates. The finest competition yet saw 12 men clear 2.31, with six of those making 2.34, the most prominent failure at 2.34 being Paklin. Defending champion Mögenburg cleared 2.34, but looked near his limit for the day, and failed at his next heights, losing fifth place on countback to Nick Saunders of Bermuda. Avdyeyenko, 1983 World Champion, was perfect to 2.38, and led from the surprising Conway, who made 2.36 first time, as compared to second-time clearances for former world record holders Sjöberg and Povarnitsyn. The top six all had at least two attempts at 2.38, with Avdyeyenko grazing the bar on his clearance having missed on his first attempt at the winning height. Avdyeyenko then had one attempt at 2.40 and two more at 2.44.
