With Javier Sotomayor serving a suspension and Smith making it to the final but cruelly handicapped by an Achilles tendon injury, there was no obvious favourite but when the serious jumping started it became clear that the man in form was Voronin, the world indoor silver medallist. He kept a faultless card up to and including a personal best and 1999 world leading 2.37, failing only at 2.40. “I was so excited that my technique deserted me,” said the Russian.
Also inspired to new heights – in his case a Canadian record of 2.35 – was Jamaican-born Boswell, the 1996 world junior champion. Aware that his injury might stand up only to two or three jumps, Smith entered at an unprecedented 2.35 but failed once at that and 2.37 before aborting his final attempt in pain. Klyugin, who would be crowned Olympic Champion the following year, could manage only 2.20 in the qualifying contest and failed to advance.
