Olympics 2024 high jump on TV: Channel, schedule, live stream
Your guide to high jump at the Olympic Games 2024, including TV coverage and schedule.
The men's high jump looks relatively open, with Italy's Gianmarco Tamberi the slight favourite ahead of Hamish Kerr of New Zealand and Qatar's Mutaz Essa Barshim.
Tamberi won another European title this year after jumping 2.37m, and he'll be hoping to win his second consecutive gold medal after his success at Tokyo 2020.

You may also recognise Tamberi's name as he was the athlete who lost his wedding ring in the River Seine during the Opening Ceremony. He said the ring will now 'remain forever in the riverbed of the city of love'.
The women's high jump looks to be wrapped up already, with Yaroslava Mahuchikh from Ukraine the heavy favourite to take home the gold medal.
She set a world record of 2.10m at the Wanda Diamond League last year, and the 22-year-old is the one to beat.
