For the first time in the women's pole vault at these championships, two gold medals were awarded.

After Šutej missed, returning bronze medalist Nina Kennedy cleared cleanly to improve upon her own National Record from 2021.

With the story of Mutaz Essa Barshim and Gianmarco Tamberi both refusing at 2020 Olympic high jump fresh in everyone's mind, it was assumed they would both refuse and accept the tie for first place.

Katie Moon and Nina Kennedy together discussed the prospect of jumping at 4.95 again then agreed to accept shared gold medals followed by a hug.

Before the competition, records were as follows:[1] The standard to qualify automatically for entry was 4.71 m.[2] The event schedule, in local time (UTC+2), is as follows: Qualification: 4.65 m (Q) or at least 12 best performers (q).
