High jumper Jithin Thomas had to settle for the silver after he was tied for the top place at 2.21m with two other jumpers.
After a series of jumps to break the tie between China's Bi Xiaolang and Iran's Keyvan Ghanbarzadeh, Jithin failed to clear 2.20 after Xiaolang had cleared it. The Iranian too failed, giving the Chinese the gold.
