}}Tim Forsyth (born August 17, 1973 in Mirboo North) is a retired
Australian three-time Olympic (92, 96, 00) high jumper.
His first success on the international scene came in 1990 with a silver
medal at the World Junior Championships. In 1992 the 19-year-old Forsyth
won an Olympic bronze medal, equalling his personal best at that time of
2.34m. He went on to win another World Junior Championships silver medal,
this time beaten by Steve Smith. Forsyth would beat Smith at the 1994
Commonwealth Games.
His ultimate personal best jump of 2.36m was set in 1997, five months
before he won his last global-event medal: A bronze at the World
Championships in Athens. 2.36 was his ninth Australian record, and also the
Oceanian area record. Forsyth is a six-time national champion for Australia
in the men's high jump event.
