Sergey Bubka, now a five-time World Champion, was less fortunate in the Olympic arena, and had to give up when his damaged achilles ten- don did not respond during the warm-up. Eleven men went on to clear 5.70, with three first-time clearers of 5.60 added to the final. Five men made it safely over 5.80, and curiously the bar was then raised in increments of 6cm. Potapovich, who had passed 5.80, cleared 5.86 first time, as did Galfione, Bochkaryov and Trandenkov. Markov and former Soviet Tivontchik got over second time. Igor Trandenkov, who missed 5.86 twice, gambled at 5.92 with his remaining attempt, and cleared, but still found himself in second behind Galfione, who again made the height first time. Tivontchik again had a second time clearance as all three broke Bubka’s Olympic record. None of the jumpers made another height, and France won its third title in 90 years. The depth of the event was such that the best-ever marks were achieved for third to 14th place.
