That's all from us for this event! Thanks for tuning in. Good night!

A great day event for India, with a silver and a bronze, which pushes the nation's tally to five medals now.

BUT IT'S GOLD FOR THE AMERICAN! A CHAMPIONSHIP RECORD OF 1.86M TO GO WITH IT!

Grewe is unsuccessful to breach the world mark in his next two attempts as well!

NOOO! He is unsuccessful in his first attempt!

Sam Grewe is going for the world record now! The bar is set at 1.93m! Can the American do it?

Grewe is now gunning to go into a clear lead and he DOES! He clears the 1.86m mark and inches closer to the world record.

NOOO! He misses out again and after three unsuccessful attempts at the 1.86m mark, his final is over.

Last chance for Sharad!

And Grewe is unsuccessful again too!

He has one more chance now!

Sharad fails to clear the bar on his second attempt as well!

OOOH! Grewe records his first unsuccessful attempt of the night!

It's now the American's turn to go for 1.86m.

Sharad is unsuccessful on his first attempt for 1.86m!

Both jumpers have now gone past the meet record! The world mark stands at 1.96m, is it in danger?

Sharad is up next and clears 1.84m! The fight continues!

And Grewe has done it again! He's cleared the 1.84m now!

He has two more attempts to keep his fight for the gold alive!

He misses on his first attempt!

Sharad is up next and will go straight for 1.84m!

Grewe is up next and clears 1.82m!

Bhati fails to clear the bar at 1.80m and will have to suffice with the bronze medal around his neck.
