On his third appearance in a World Championship final, Sotomayor finally won the title. He needed just five jumps, but was pushed by Partyka and Smith. A record total of seven men had attempted 2.37, two of whom (Sonn and Conway) passed after failing once, before going in vain up to 2.40.

Men High Jump History

The Cuban, Polish and British jumpers all cleared 2.37 on their first attempts. This matched the national records of Partyka and Smith, before both went out at 2.40. Sotomayor made this height on his second attempt, then had two tries at 2.46. The second of these was quite reasonable. He passed his final chance, admitting he had been distracted by the runners in the 10,000m final.
“It was not to be today,” said the world record holder. “I’m content with the result.
The crowd were very good.” The crowd were particularly thrilled by the performance of Sonn, who led briefly after becoming the first man clear at 2.34. This was an outdoor personal best for the German.
