Yaroslava Mahuchikh is the Olympic champion in the high jump at the 2024 Olympics, and Iryna Herashchenko has won the bronze!
The second double podium for Ukraine in the history of Olympic athletics tournaments won Yaroslava Mahuchikh and Iryna Herashchenko.
Yaroslava Mahuchikh became the new Olympic champion in the high jump, taking first place in the Paris 2024 final, where another Ukrainian athlete, Iryna Herashchenko, won the bronze.
Mahuchikh and Herashchenko qualified for the final among three Ukrainians. Both “blue and yellow” jumpers cleared the bar at 1.95 meters in the qualifiers, with reigning world champion Mahuchikh achieving this height in two jumps.
Eleven athletes competed in the final. Two jumpers did not start: European silver medalist Angelina Topic withdrew due to injury, and Brazilian Valdileia Martins did not make it to the medal round.
The main competition for the Ukrainians in the final came from the Australian representatives: 2022 World Champion Eleanor Patterson and Nicola Olyslagers, the current Olympic silver medalist who finished ahead of Mahuchikh in the Tokyo 2020 final.
