'''Erik Kynard Jr.''' (born February 3, 1991) is an American [[track and field]] athlete who competes in the [[high jump]]. In his Olympic debut at the [[2012 Summer Olympics]] in [[London]] as a 21-year-old, he won a silver medal in the men's high jump. His silver medal was upgraded to gold in 2021 with the disqualification of original champion [[Ivan Ukhov]] from Russia for doping.<ref>{{cite web |title=United States high jumper Erik Kynard to get 2012 Olympic gold medal from Russian doper |url=https://www.espn.com/olympics/story/_/id/32614812/united-states-high-jumper-erik-kynard-get-2012-olympic-gold-medal-russian-doper |work=ESPN.com |date=12 November 2021 |access-date=13 November 2021}}</ref>

Kynard was born in 1991, the son of Erik Kynard and Brandynn Adams. He is a 2009 graduate of [[Rogers High School (Toledo, Ohio)|Rogers High School]] in [[Toledo, Ohio]], and a graduate of [[Kansas State University]] where he trains under Cliff Rovelto.  He jumps off his right leg.  
  
At the [[2012 United States Olympic Trials (track and field)|2012 United States Olympic Trials]], Kynard made the Olympic team by placing second behind [[Jamie Nieto]] with a height of 2.28&nbsp;m. At the Olympics, Kynard won silver<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.oregonlive.com/trackandfield/index.ssf/2016/07/erik_kynard_wins_high_jump_at.html|title=Erik Kynard wins high jump at U.S. Olympic track and field trials|work=OregonLive.com|access-date=2017-12-08|language=en-US}}</ref> behind Russian [[Ivan Ukhov]] with a height of 2.33&nbsp;m, the first major international medal of his career. Ukhov won the competition with a height of 2.38&nbsp;m. Throughout the high jump competition, Kynard was noticed by his American-themed tube socks.

In February 2019, it was announced that all of Ivan Ukhov's results from  16 July 2012 to 31 December 2015 were being disqualified for doping, making Eric Kynard the rightful recipient of the 2012 gold medal.

At the start of the 2013 outdoor season, he cleared a world-leading mark of 2.34&nbsp;m at the [[Mt SAC Relays]].<ref>Lee, Kirby (2013-04-21).

Retrieved on 2013-04-22.</ref> He won the high jump title at the United States Outdoor National Championships in 2014 and 2015: in the latter he tied his personal best, and the Meet record, of 2.37m (7' 9-1/4").

In January 2022, despite being retired, Kynard accepted a 6-month ban from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency for receiving an IV infusion of saline solution with no prohibited substances without a therapeutic use exemption.<ref>[https://olympics.nbcsports.com/2022/05/27/erik-kynard-usada-suspension-track-and-field-high-jump/ Erik Kynard Jr., Olympic high jump champion, sanctioned while retired] [[NBC Sports]]</ref>
