Another stage of the athletics “Diamond League” took place in Paris, where Ukrainian athlete Yaroslava Maguchih won, breaking personal and world records.
She won the competition in the high jump sector, setting a new world record of 2.10 meters.
The Ukrainian won the gold medal, becoming the only one who took 2.03 m in the sector. Next, the Dnipro woman went for a personal record — 2.07 m, conquering this height on the second attempt. But Yaroslava Maguchih did not stop there either, breaking the world record on the first attempt.
World the record in women’s high jump stood for 37 years. The previous achievement was set in 1987 by the Bulgarian Stefka Kostadinova, who took a height of 2.09 meters at the World Championships in Rome (Italy).
“I had a feeling that I would be able to jump 2.07 and maybe 2.10… Finally, I wrote Ukraine in the history of world athletics”– said Yaroslava Maguchih following the victory.
In 19 days, the Olympic Games will begin in Paris.
We will remind you that in September 2023, Yaroslava Maguchih won the Diamond League stage, setting a season record.
