world Women High Jump History

Venue: Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum 93,607.

29 competitors from 17 nations.

World Record: 2.07m Lyudmila Andonova, Bulgaria East Berlin, East Germany July 20th 1984

Olympic Record: 1.97 Sara Simeoni, Italy Moscow, Soviet Union July 26th 1980

The 15 finalists made 1.90 to qualify, and eight went one centimetre higher in the final. Ackermann’s Olympic record of 1.97 was tied by three jumpers; Huntley plus previous Olympic winners Simeoni and Meyfarth. At 2.00 Simeoni flew clear first time to win her third medal, followed by Meyfarth with a jump good enough to clear 2.05. She then cleared 2.02 to become the first athlete to regain an Olympic title after 12 years, and become the oldest (as well as youngest) Olympic high jump winner. Missing from the LA competition were world record set- ters Tamara Bykova (2.05) and Ludmila Andonova (2.07).
