On Friday, 14 August, a Ukrainian high jumper competed in the final of the European Championships in high jump. His main opponent was the legendary Gianmarco Tamberi.
In the English city of Birmingham, the European Athletics Championships are taking place. As three years ago, the medalist of these competitions is 25-year-old athlete from Krupivnytskyi, Oleh Doroshchuk.
To the attempt at 2.30 meters, three athletes reached the mark: Ukrainian Oleh Doroshchuk and Italians Matteo Sioli and Gianmarco Tamberi, who is the Olympic champion in Tokyo-2020.
Sioli was injured on his first attempt at 2.30 meters and exited the competition with the bronze medal. In the sector remained only athletes who had medaled two years ago. Doroshchuk cleared his height on the first attempt, while Tamberi did so on the second. This gave an advantage to the Ukrainian.
But at the mark of 2.32 meters the Ukrainian squandered all three attempts, and Tamberi took this height on his second.
What next in the European Championships
Doroshchuk became the second Ukrainian to win more than one medal at the European Championships in high jump held outdoors. Two years ago he was third. Another multiple medalist is Andriy Protsenko, holder of a similar set of awards.
The only Ukrainian champion in this event remains Bohdan Bondarenko. He won his "gold" 12 years ago.
Currently Ukraine has won two medals at the European Championships-2026. The first medal belongs to the hammer thrower, bronze medalist Mykhailo Kohan.
Next on the program are several more finals featuring Ukrainians. In particular, Yaroslav Mahuchikh and Iryna Gerashchenko will also compete.
