World Masters Games
High Jump

The high jump was contested in the first modern Olympics in 1896. It was also among the first events deemed acceptable for women, having been held at the 1928 Olympic Games.

In the case of two jumpers finishing at the same height, the normal approach is for the winner to be based on the fewest failed jumps at that height.

National codes indicate a competitor's given country at time of competition but at the World Masters Games this often does not indicate a competitor's real country.

Records are not tracked and the event is not generally eligible for records due to the general lack of compliance to IAAF/WMA standards.
