The excellent performance of Christian Rhoden (GER) during the 1998 edition of the Top High-Jump contest could not be repeated, but instead the numerous crowd was pleased to assist to one of the most exciting finals seen in Luxembourg for years. The podium places were uncertain up to the last attempts over 2,20m.
Another "never seen" was that two CAD-athletes passed 2m in one and the same high-jump contest.
Unfortunately, last year's second, Hervé Ndi Ndi had to quit the contest at 2,15 after a severe injury at his ankle.
