Woo Sang-hyuk showed light movement by succeeding on his first attempt from 2m15 to 2m29.

When the bar rose to 2m33, the only players who survived were Woo Sang-hyuk and Barsim.
The match was narrowed down to a two-way match between Woo Sang-hyuk and Barsim, and was decided at 2m35m.
Woo Sang-hyuk, who tried first, failed in the first period, but Barsim easily surpassed 2m35 in the first period.
Woo Sang-hyuk, who realized that exceeding 2m35m was meaningless, raised the bar to 2m37m, which is higher than his indoor Korean record (2m36), and tried twice, but unfortunately, the match was decided when he touched the bar.
Barshim, who is considered the best jumper in the sport, won his third gold medal in this competition, following Guangzhou in 2010 and Incheon in 2014.

Choi Jin-woo (18), who participated in the finals with Woo Sang-hyuk, ranked 10th with 2m15.
