2024 Men’s High Jump World Rankings

THOSE WHO LIKE JUMPOFFS got their wish in Paris, but in the final analysis Hamish Kerr liked things better than Shelby McEwen did, claiming the win. That made their yearly sequence 4–1 in favor of the Kiwi. With their 1–2 finishes at both the World Indoor and Olympics they were clearly at the top of the heap…

IN TAKING THE THIRD SPOT über-vet Mutaz Barshim became the first in the event’s history to rank for 13 years in a row. He’s one shy of Javier Sotomayor’s record of 14 for overall appearances. He’s also close to the Cuban’s most-points standard, trailing 117–113…

POST-PARIS, Barshim said it was his last Olympics, but he appears not to have issued a blanket-retirement notice of any kind.
