Medalists

The men's high jump field event at the 1972 Olympic Games took place on September 9 & 10.[1] The top jumper of the previous year, world record holder and winner of the Pan American Games, was Pat Matzdorf from the United States. But in a surprise, he failed to make the US team, leaving the field wide open. Jüri Tarmak was the last man to win Olympic gold medal using the straddle technique. The more popular and more widely used Fosbury Flop technique was the most common technique used.

Results

Top 12 and ties and all jumpers clearing 2.15 m (7 ft ¹⁄₂ in) advanced to the finals. All heights are listed in metres.
