The national record holder cleared 2.25 metres in the final before narrowly missing out on gold after three unsuccessful attempts at 2.28m [{ "selector": ".imaoe-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-309px)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Jamaica`s Romaine Beckford also cleared 2.25m but claimed the gold medal on countback, having enjoyed a cleaner series [{ "selector": ".imaoe-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-309px)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Kushare needed his third attempt to clear 2.25m, while Beckford sailed over the height on his first try, a difference that ultimately proved decisive [{ "selector": ".imaoe-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-309px)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]
