The women's high jump at the 2023 World Athletics Championships was held at the National Athletics Centre in Budapest on 25 and 27 August 2023.

Summary

[edit]

In the qualifying round, 19 women cleared 1.89m. That was too many to take to the final, so they went up to 1.92m. Only eight were able to clear 1.92m, so they counted back to the next tie-breaker at 1.89m, with a clean round and one miss at 1.89m being the difference. Had they not cleared 1.92m, two women would not have been in the final. Still, 15 advanced.

In the final, eight managed to clear 1.94m. Defending champion Eleanor Patterson, Lamara Distin, and Iryna Gerashchenko still had a clean card. At 1.97m, returning silver medalist Yaroslava Mahuchikh and 2023 world leader Nicola Olyslagers cleared on their first attempts to move into a tie for the lead. Patterson and Morgan Lake took all three attempts to get over, with Patterson holding the advantage based on her previous perfect series. At 1.99m, Patterson and Mahuchikh got over on their first attempts, with Mahuchikh holding the advantage. Lake missed her second. When Olyslagers made her second, Lake passed to try to make one heroic jump at 2.01m. She didn't make it and was out of the medals. Mahuchikh was able to make 2.01 on her second attempt to confirm her gold, while neither of the Australian women could, meaning that Patterson won silver and Olyslagers won bronze. Mahuchikh went on to make three attempts at a new Ukrainian record of 2.07m.
