Both have a best clearance of 4.15m, identical attempts at each height and the same number of failures at 4.25m. That leaves the bronze medal situation unresolved for now, with either a jump-off for a shared medal possible.

  A frustrating outing for Sindhusree Ganesha. The Indian skipped the opening two heights before failing twice at 3.85m, and then moved straight to 4.00m for her final attempt, where was unsuccessful again
