He cleared it on his second. Gianmarco Tamberi made it on his third attempt. Defending champion Mutaz Essa Barshim, also was perfect before 2.33, but after two misses, passed to make one big attempt at 2.36. Barshim failed, but Tamberi cleared it on his first attempt. Even though he had five misses, more than anyone else in the competition, Tamberi leaped from third to first.
