Tina Sutej equalled her own Slovenian record with 4.76m at the second attempt, but she trails world and Olympic champion Katie Moon who went over first time. The world and Olympic champion is one of three men left in the competition led by USA's JuVaughn Harrison and Woo Sanghyeok of Republic of Korea. Home favourite Mutaz Essa Barshim had two failures at 2.21m but cleared it at the third attempt for a season's best.

Harrison, who also made the long jump final at Tokyo 2020, had his first failure of the day at 2.35m and elected to stop after that. And the American then cleared 2.32m - again at the first attempt - with the Korean having three failures. Harrison then cleared 2.30m on his first go with Woo opting to pass. That proved a height too much for home favourite Mutaz Essa Barshim who was third with a best clearance of 2.24m.
He cleared 2.27m at the first attempt with Woo Sanghyeok of Republic of Korea going over at the third time of asking. JuVaughn Harrison was a convincing winner of the high jump.

Kenya's world and Olympic champion took a couple of seemingly nervous glances over her shoulder in the home straight as Ethiopia's Diribe Welteji stayed in touch, but she had enough in hand to win in a world lead 3:58.57.
