The UAE’s Ayoub Saroushi took bronze.

Essa’s podium finish drew warm applause from the home crowd, with the veteran athlete earning admiration for his determination and enduring commitment to competition on the international stage.

The moment carried added significance as father and son celebrated medals on the same night, creating one of the most talked-about scenes of the athletics programme.

Barshim shared gold with Oman’s Fatak Bait Jaboob after opting not to continue when officials asked him to proceed, in a repeat of his famous joint victory with Italy’s Gianmarco Tamberi at the Tokyo Olympics. Both athletes had cleared 2.16m.

It was Barshim’s first event since the Paris Olympics.

The Barshim family, already central to Qatar’s sporting identity, once again reinforced its legacy, with father and son both featuring on the podium in a rare double that highlighted continuity and success across generations.
