Among the non-qualifiers were World indoor Champion Vashti Cunningham and European silver medalist Airinė Palšytė.

Waving her fingers at the bar before she jumped, 37 year old Ruth Beitia remained perfect to that point.

And making the bar on her last attempt, world leader Chaunté Lowe was in fourth place.

Earlier in her career Vlašić made 2.00 routine and was attempting the world record of 2.10 on occasion.

A week earlier, while competing in the heptathlon, Katarina Johnson-Thompson had jumped 1.98 m.[2] The competition consisted of two rounds, qualification and final.
