Jumpers had to pass 1.70 metres to qualify for the final or be in the top 12 (with all those tying for a place in the top 12 qualifying). Since only 11 jumpers passed 1.70 metres, all those passing 1.68 advanced. The bar started at 1.55 metres, increasing gradually to 1.70 metres. Each jumper had three attempts at each height or could skip any lower height (but could not return to a lower height if he determined that he could not succeed).
