Minna Nikkanen set her National Record at 4.60, but there were still seven in at 4.70, five of them with clean rounds to that point making for a five-way tie including Angelica Bengtsson's National Record and returning silver medalist Jenn Suhr, who had confidently passed to 4.60.

2011 champion Fabiana Murer took it on her second attempt and was ahead of Yarisley Silva who had struggled earlier at 4.70.

On her final attempt, Silva made it, to leap past Murer into gold medal position.
