Venue: Estadi Olímpic de Montjuïc 67,007. Competitors: 41; Countries: 26
World Record: 2.09m Stefka Kostadinova, Bulgaria, Rome, Italy August 30, 1987 Olympic Record: 2.03m Louise Ritter, Seoul, South Korea, September 30, 1988
Only Henkel (2.07i) and Kostadinova (2.05i) had gone higher than 2m
in 1992, and were considered to be well ahead of the rest. At 1.97, six
jumpers remained, with Henkel, Astafei and Kostadinova leading.
Only Astafei cleared first time, and Quintero then made the height sec-
ond time around. The apron area which had affected the men’s event
seemed to be even more detrimental to the women. At the final attempt
Henkel soared over, but Kostadinova failed badly after two close
attempts. At 2.00 Henkel retained her equilibrium with a first time
clearance and Astafei, who would compete for Germany two years
later, also cleared, equalling her best ever. Quintero passed her last
jump at 2.00, gambled at 2.02, but missed that height. Henkel needed
to clear 2.02, and made it with 5cm to spare and thus won the gold.
Mark 1.94m. Jumping was stopped after 1.92m due to request of the Athletes and all 16 athletes who passed 1.92m advanced to Final.
