The eighth event of MarbleLympics 2017 was held on the 1st of August 2017. The event was the High Jump.
Event
The High Jump returns with some differences to MarbleLympics 2016. Instead of an elimination type event, each team gets a chance to do their best jump. One marble from each team rolls down a steep track onto a ramp and then attempts to jump over a bar. If they clear the jump they move onto a higher bar. Each marble is given three attempts to clear the height. If they can't clear the height after three attempts, they are out. The marble that clears the highest jump gets the most points.

Trivia
- Cosmo from Team Galactic had almost cleared the 37.5 cm jump on his final attempt. However despite getting the height, Cosmo landed on the bar, bouncing back and couldn't tie the previous record.
- Cocoa from the Chocolatiers also landed on the bar (36.5 cm)
- Mimo, who replaced Momomomo, competed in their first ever individual event and managed to win the bronze medal.
- Mellow Yellow's Yellah broke the previous high jump record of 37.5 cm by clearing 38.0 cm. Apart from the 38.5 cm, Yellah cleared every single height with only one attempt. Yellah's performance for Mellow Yellow had the team jump 5 places, into 3rd place in the overall standings.
