Competitor D after passing the height of 3-25 M. failed to clear 3-30 M

Competitor ‘A’ failed at 3-25 M,

Thus the formula 2-c says.

“If the tie still remains, the competitor with the lowest total number of jumps (whether successful or not) throughout the competition upto and including the height last cleared shall be awarded the higher place”

‘A’ has taken Three jumps while ‘D’ has only Two.

Thus ‘D’ is decided the winner. while

A is given second place,

B and C both have failed at 3-20 M.

In their previous attempts, ‘C’ has cleared 3.10 M. While ‘B’ has not made any attempt and has not recorded any jump at all.

Therefore he gets 4th place.

C is awarded Third place.
