‡: It is reported that there is a tie resulting in four bronze medallists in high jump. However, only Sakari Famous from Bermuda and Lamara Distin from Jamaica cleared the 1.68m in the second attempt and all other heights in the first attempt. Daejha Moss from the Bahamas cleared both the 1.68m and the 1.65m in the second attempt, while Anelia Austrie from Dominica cleared the 1.68m in the third and the 1.65m in the second attempt. Consequently, there should be only two bronze medals.[4]
