The men's high jump at the 2023 World Athletics Championships is being held at the National Athletics Centre in Budapest on 20 and 22 August 2023.

Summary

[edit]

Including the fabled win at home in 2019, Mutaz Barsham came in as a three time defending champion. He had also famously shared the 2020 Olympic gold with Gianmarco Tamberi who was also here.

Returning silver medalist Woo Sang-hyeok had a perfect round going to 2.29m. JuVaughn Harrison was also perfect and maintained that status to the next height of 2.33m putting him into the lead. Woo could go no higher, but five others did get over, all but Tobias Potye on their first attempt, leaving Potye in fifth. For Luis Enrique Zayas, it was a new personal best. The next height was 2.36 m (7 ft 8+34 in). After watching everyone miss their first attempt, Tamberi cleared it cleanly to take the lead. On his second attempt, Harrison also cleared cleanly. When the remaining competitors failed, Barshim with one earlier miss took bronze over Zayas who had three. Both Tamberi and Harrison took attempts at 2.38m but neither could negotiate it on this night. That one miss at 2.36m costing Harrison the gold, leaving it to Tamberi.
