Siilats did not have the smoothest ride to the top of the competition. As in all high jump competitions, the failure to clear any given increment of the bar three times means elimination. Siilats twice needed a third try just to make it to the 1.83-meter height...

That height would keep Siilats on top of the national performance lists for nearly two months before Gyorffy's return to collegiate competition following the Sydney Olympics...
