Qatar 's Mutaz Essa Barshim and Italy 's Gianmarco Tamberi both jumped at 2.37 meters at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics .

When both jumpers missed the Olympic record of 2.39 meters three times each, they were officially tied for first place.

In such a tiebreaker, the athletes would usually do a "jump-off" to determine who wins gold and who wins silver.

The last time competing track and field Olympians shared the gold medal podium was in 1912 .
