At the Paris Diamond League, Ukraine’s Yaroslava Mahuchikh soared to a new women’s high jump world record of 2.10 meters, surpassing the longstanding mark set in 1987 by one centimeter.
The 22-year-old, undeterred by the pressure, set the bar high for the upcoming Paris Olympics, emphasizing the fierce competition ahead. Her achievement marks a significant milestone in Ukrainian athletics history, underscoring her resilience and dedication to the sport despite personal challenges.
Mahuchikh’s record-breaking jump not only cements her place among the elite but also positions her as a frontrunner for Olympic gold, promising an exciting showdown in the world of track and field this summer.
