Men's High Jump Final | World Athletics Championships Doha 2019

Welcome to the World Athletics Watch Party, join the conversation on Twitter with our hashtag #WatchWorldAthletics.
Capping a stunning comeback from a career-threatening injury, Mutaz Barshim successfully defended his world high jump title before a near-capacity crowd at Khalifa Stadium.
It was Barshim, the 2017 World Athlete of the Year, who was these championships’ unofficial poster boy ever since the Qatari capital was named to host these championships in 2014. That’s a lot of pressure for any athlete to carry, never mind one who suddenly found himself sidelined by a serious ankle injury just 14 months before the start of the championships. Ruptured ligaments and a subsequent surgery in July of last year began what turned out to be a frustrating race against the calendar, and then against the clock.

What a pleasure for Barshim to defend his title after a whole lot of injuries and in front of a very supporting home crowd. Well done!

[@jianlinloh2036]

41:00 The build-up to this jump and the home crowd's reaction in the background gave me chills. Absolutely clutch performance by Barshim!

[@ccbgaming6994]

Barshim defied all odds coming into this World Championships. Everyone thought his career would be over after the injury, yet he rose to the occasion and won in front of his home crowd. What an athletic hero he is!

Update: It's 2021/08/01 and both Barshim and Tamberi share the Tokyo 2021 Olympic medal.

[@calebhalbrook788]

Why did they share

[@spdcrzy]

@@calebhalbrook788 They went back and forth and couldn't outdo each other three times in a row. They had BOTH come back from career-ending injuries and trained and grew up together in the sport. The organizer came over to them and said they would need a jump-off to determine who would be the winner, but they had already been jumping for SO long (I think well over three hours that day) that Barshim just looked at Tamberi and knew they would share it.

Nothing quite like seeing the home town hero deliver like this

[@isaacisingomaamooti3943]

First man to successfully defend the high jump title. It's clear though he has not broken the world record. The fact remains he has jumped over 2m and 40 cm for six successful seasons. It's also a record of his own no other has done of all times And I believe now even Olympics next year the title is his if these guys don't train hard to beat him one needs to jump above 2:40 Evidenced in this worst season of injury and surgery and a season best best if 2:25 he comes on the big event with 2:38. Now even if inanyuk also jumped it he would still win it coz he jumped it on first attempt or he would even go for 2:41 Barshim is the king of high jump

[@retro23ify]

Ahh, 1st world black people putting themselves in a bubble once again b/c it makes you feel better about yourself even tho you're not the one accomplishing anything, and associating themselves with other blacks b/c it gives you some faux sense of satisfaction, even tho there is a great deal of diversity among "blacks" both ethnically, culturally, etc.. This may surprise you, but Mexicans are not Brazilians. Japanese are not Chinese. English are not Polish, and not all blacks are the same. I swear, it's only privileged black Americans that take pride in people who come from counties and cultures that they don't even understand. (implant yourself into some of these countries, and you'd be a fucking slave lol) Many South Asians are WAYY blacker than the "black folk" you associate with. Increase your world view. Stop being a sheep. Shit is embarrassing.

[@tomieke4717]

Soy Sauce listen people do not hate me because I have Christian neither do they hate me because I am tall they hate me because I am black. No matter where you are no matter where you come from if you are black you are African and that fact is what unites us. The sin against our skin committed by others has and will forever be our blessing. Do not feel your heart with hate or jealousy ok because you sounded so foolish in you comment. 😀😀🇳🇬 my people are my people because they have actual African ancestry because they are black. 1st world black and 3 world black are literally the same as with the only difference being where they are situated.
