The Estonian Uibo misses 2.19m and after skipping the 2.16m will finish back with the Aussie
The American Taiwo cleared 2.19m and will win group A, time will tell if it’s enough to take out the high jump overall

likewise the Czech Helcelet, has been jumping all morning, starting at 1.89 and continues to impress. The bloke looks like he’s built to throw a javelin or a discuss, bigger upper body but is doing some amazing things

huge effort from the Serbian Dudas, the bloke has been jumping since the 1.89m mark and is scraping through. He’s pumped and why not! Has missed on a few but continues to fight, good stuff

Taiwan wins this one, recording a 2.19m jump after XXX at the 2.22m. I guess wearing one pink and one white sock really does work!
