The final started at 5.51, and only one was eliminated as the athletes attempted 5.81. Ecker, Walker, Pavlov and Mesnil all cleared first time, though only the German had a faultless record at that point. The bar was subsequently raised to 5.86 and then 5.91, but only Walker (first time) and Mesnil (second attempt) were able to clear the former height. For the USA, who had provided the first 16 winners of the quadrennial Olympics, this was the first World Championship win in 11 attempts. Lobinger placed eighth with 5.81, better than the winning height in 2005.
