2011 World Championships in Athletics – Women's high jump

The Women's high jump event at the 2011 World Championships in Athletics was held at the Daegu Stadium on September 1 and 3.

Emma Green, Venelina Veneva-Mateeva, 2004 Olympic champion Yelena Slesarenko and Ruth Beitia were the other established entrants, while Svetlana Shkolina was fourth in the world rankings.

Chaunté Lowe, Ariane Friedrich and reigning Olympic champion Tia Hellebaut were notable absences.

At 2.03 Chicherova remained clean while Vlašić again needed two attempts, with Di Martino unable to make the height.

After years of finishing one place behind Vlašić in major meets, it was the first time Chicherova was able to reverse those results.
