caption_attribution_description: English: There were three bronze medalists: Derek Drouin (Canada - in the red tracksuit); Robert Grabarz (Great Britain and Northern Ireland - in the blue and white tracksuit) and Mutaz Essa Barshim (Qatar - in the purple and white tracksuit). Erik Kynard, Jr. (USA - grey and black tracksuit) won silver and Ivan Ukhov (Russia) won gold.
context_page_description: The men's high jump competition at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, United Kingdom was held at the Olympic Stadium on 5–7 August.
  In the qualifying round, nobody needed to take an attempt at the automatic qualifying mark because they were at a tie for the 12th qualifying position at 2.26 metres, with no misses before that height. Because there were two pits going on at the same time, they continued to 2.29 and half the field missed, two heights below the auto-qualifier. All the medalists came from those who made 2.29.
  In the final, six athletes did not make it back to the qualifying height, including reigning world champion Jesse Williams and defending champion Andrey Silnov. Derek Drouin, Robert Grabarz and Mutaz Essa Barshim were clean through 2.29 and were in a three-way tie for first place. Erik Kynard cleared the next height at 2.33. Somehow between jumps, Ivan Ukhov had taken off his singlet and it got lost. As time clicked down, he pinned his number to a T-shirt and quickly took his jump at that height. It was successful, to move him into a tie for first place. After the other three had failed, Jamie Nieto made a strategic decision to take an all or nothing jump at 2.36.

It was a close attempt, but he missed it. 
  Nieto finished in 6th, with a three-way tie for the bronze medal. Kynard missed at 2.36, but Ukhov, again in his singlet, cleared. With silver guaranteed, Kynard passed to 2.38 to try to win. He missed but Ukhov again cleared. Kynard again passed to 2.40 to try to winx but he missed, keeping the silver, and Ukhov took the gold. 
  On February 1 2019, gold medalist Ivan Ukhov was stripped of the gold medal by the Court of Arbitration in Sport for doping offences. At this time, medals have not yet been reallocated.
