Historical note: Jan Podebradsky finished only 13th here on 9 August 1991 after failing to clear a height in the pole vault, but his career later took an unusual turn. In 2000, the Czech decathlete became a European indoor champion in the 4 × 400 metres relay in Ghent, helping his team set a national record of 3:06.10.
