The favorite was Sheila Lerwill, who as Sheila Alexander, had won the 1950 European Championships, and in 1951 had broken the world record with 1.72 metres (5-7½) at the WAAA Championships. There were three jumpers left at 1.63 (5-4) – Lerwill, Esther Brand (RSA), and Aleksandra Chudina (URS) – and all three cleared that height, but Chudina took the lead with a first-attempt clearance. She went out at 1.65 (5-5), and Brand took the lead by clearing on her second attempt, Lerwill needing three jumps at that height. That decided the medals, although Brand also went over 1.67 (5-5¾), Lerwill missing that height.
