He earned automatic qualification for the men's 800 metres because his fastest time of one minute and 45.19 seconds, set at the 2012 Qatar Athletic Super Grand Prix, was 0.41 seconds faster than the "A" qualifying standard for his event. Balla was drawn to run in the second heat of the first round on 6 August, coming second out of eight runners, with a time of one minute and 46.37 seconds. His effort was fast enough to advance him into the semi-finals that took place the day after. There, Balla participated in heat two, finishing seventh out of eight athletes, with a time of one minute and 47.52 seconds. This time put him 21st overall, but only the top eight continued on to the final. Making his Olympic début like the others, Mutaz Essa Barshim was 20 years old at the time of the London Games. His best mark of 2.35 metres, set at the 2011 Asian Athletics Championships in Kobe, was 0.04 metres over the "A" qualifying standard to automatically qualify in the men's high jump. Barshim was drawn to compete in Qualifying Group A on 5 August. His best height cleared was 2.26 metres on his second try, tying him for eighth in Qualifying Group A. Barshim's result advanced him to compete for a top 12 placing in the 7 August final. Six athletes, including Barshim, all tied for a mark of 2.29 metres after missing the 2.33 metres mark, and the final result of the high jump was decided by a count-back with the fewest failed jumps factored into the final result. Barshim thus tied for the bronze medal with Robbie Grabarz of Great Britain and Derek Drouin of Canada.
