The main photo shows Mikhail Akimenko clearing 2.27m, first time, as he progressed
to the gold medal position by the sixth round. The two inset photos show him celebrating
those successful clearances as he battled for the title. However, when the bar was raised
to 2.37m his sequence of first time clearances came to an end. He could not get over
(three tries) whereas defending champion Barshim slipped over first time.
