Six times World Champion Sergey Bubka had further bad Olympic fourtune, sadly failing to make the final for the third time. Six made the qualifying height of 5.70 and were joined by seven who scaled 5.65. In the final, four were eliminated by the time the bar was raised to 5.80, most notably Germany’s 6m vaulter Tim Lobinger. Clearing 5.80 first time were Hysong and Johnson, and the Australian imports Markov and Chistyakov. Hysong battered the bar at apersonal best 5.90 but it stayed on, while Johnson flew clear on his second attempt. Defending champion Tarasov and Stolle then cleared 5.90 on the final attempts to take the next two places.
