(*) Original score according to the 1962/1977 tables.

(**) Score according to the 1985 tables.

Thompson's mark was not a world record in 1984, but when the 1985 tables came into use, his mark became the record. They were both given credit for the world record.

The highest mark recorded in each event is highlighted in yellow. These marks were split between six competitors with the gold medallist claiming the high jump mark.

Neither the silver nor bronze medallists claimed any of these marks yet the competitor who placed 17th claimed three of them.
