A damaged ankle effectively ruined the chances of defending champion Sotomayor, and he finished =11th in the final, clearing only 2.25. Seven jumpers had cleared 2.26 in the qualifying without making the final, as 14 others went over 2.28. Ten of those made 2.29 in the final, with only three eliminated at 2.32. The next height of 2.35 proved to be the litmus test of quality, as 1991 World Champion Charles Austin and Poland’s competitive Artur Partyka were the only ones to clear first time. Just Steve Smith of the remaining five cleared 2.35. Partyka then cleared 2.37 on his second jump with an effort that looked a good 5cm above the bar. When Austin failed for a second time it seemed certain that the Pole would win. Both Smith and Austin passed to 2.39 for their final attempts, and Austin sailed over without touching the bar to win the gold. Partyka won his second Olympic medal of the 1990s. At seven Olympic, World and European Championships between 1992 and 1998, he never failed to win a medal.
