Date	6 – 7 July 1924
Status	Olympic

Participants	27 from 17 countries

Harold Osborn and Leroy Brown were the dominant jumpers in 1924, with 15 of the best 16 marks on the world lists. Osborn, the world record holder, won by clearing every height on his first attempt. After winning he attempted a world record 2.02 (6-7½), almost clearing on his second attempt, but hit the bar with his hand. A few days later, Osborn won the decathlon, becoming the only athlete to win an individual event and the decathlon at the Olympics. Places four thru seven were determined in jump-offs.
