History

Historical Context

The men’s high jump at the 1998 Asian Games was contested on 18 December at Bangkok’s Thammasat Stadium, marking an early regional showcase. Since then Asian athletes have pushed the mark, highlighted by Mutaz Barshim’s 2.41 m Asian record in 2015, narrowing the gap to global standards. This progression underpins current efforts by Chinese Taipei and India to contend at the 2026 Games.
