Ivan Ukhov (RUS) was striped of Gold Medal in February 2019 for doping ofense!
World Champion Williams and defending champion Silnov were out of
sorts, failing to go higher than 2.25 in the final. Leading after 2.29 were
Barshim, Grabarz and Drouin. The bar went up sharply to 2.33 and
only two men were able to clear. Ukhov – who curiously lost his shirt
after jumping 2.29 and had to borrow Silnov’s vest – and the US colle-
giate champion Kynard. Ukhov then cleared 2.36 first time, and when
Kynard failed once and passed to 2.38, Ukhov piled on the pressure by
clearing 2.38 at once. Kynard had a good try at 2.40, but Ukhov was
the worthy winner.
Mark 2.32m - 0+14 Athletes. Qualification was stopped after 8 Athletes were left. All 6 who cleared 2.29m and 8 cleard 2.26m advanced to Final. Aleksandr Shustov (RUS) with 2.26m made 3 misses and was eliminated.
