Venue: Centennial Olympic Stadium, Seoul. Capp.: 69,950.
24 competitors from 12 nations.
Qualification
Of the 29 competitions at 2.04 or better prior to Seoul, Kostadinova owned 25; she was a prohibitive favourite, and looked the best jumper at all heights up to 2.03. All finalists had cleared 1.92 to qualify, but just seven made 1.93 in the final and three of these would miss at 1.96. Kostadinova cleared 1.99 and 2.01 cleanly, heights which Ritter also made, though hitting the bar each time. Bykova beat Turchak for bronze by getting over 1.99 though clipping the bar with her heels. The 1983 World Champion failed at 2.01, and just two were left. Both missed at 2.03, though the Bulgarian was closer. With no misses a jump-off was required. Kostadinova missed, and Ritter again hit the bar, but it stayed on to give the American a shock win. Less important- ly, it equalled her North American record.
