Athletics at the 2012 Summer Olympics – Men's high jump
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The men's high jump competition at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, United Kingdom was held at the Olympic Stadium on 5–7 August.[1] Thirty-five athletes from 27 nations competed.[2] The event was won by Ivan Ukhov of Russia, the nation's second consecutive and third overall victory in the men's high jump. On February 1, 2019, Ukhov was stripped of the gold medal by the Court of Arbitration in Sport for doping offenses.[3] Erik Kynard's silver returned the United States to the men's high jump podium after a one-Games absence. A three-way tie for third resulted in bronze medals for Derek Drouin (Canada's first medal in the event since hosting in Montreal 1976), Robert Grabarz (Great Britain's second consecutive podium appearance), and Mutaz Essa Barshim (Qatar's first medal in the event, first medal in athletics since 1992, and fourth overall Olympic medal). In 2021, the medals were reallocated; Kynard received the gold medal, while Drouin, Grabarz and Barshim were all promoted to the silver.[4]
