2025 Men’s High Jump World Rankings

Winning 8 of 9, as Sang-hyeok Woo did, is nothing to sneeze at in the high jump. The last No. 1 with a higher win percentage was Mutaz Barshim, who won 11 of 11 in ’17. (KIRBY LEE/IMAGE OF SPORT)

HE CAME UP ONE MEET SHY of a perfect season, but that wasn’t enough to keep Sang-hyeok Woo out of the top spot. The South Korean star kicked off his season with 8 straight wins, including the World Indoor and a pair of DLs. In the process he forged a solid 4–0 margin over Hamish Kerr…

NEW ZEALAND’S OLYMPIC CHAMP, with DL Final and World titles on his spreadsheet and a winning record against all other candidates, was a close 2nd but with 7 losses overall just had a few too many dings…

POISED TO TAKE OVER the event’s all-time stats, 5-time No. 1 Mutaz Barshim had a bad foot and was restricted to a single meet. He remains 1 spot shy of Javier Sotomayor’s record of 14 years in the Rankings. And he’s just 5 points short of being the all-time scoring leader…

JuVAUGHN HARRISON RETURNS to the top of the U.S. heap for the first time since 2021–23.
