Yaroslava Mahuchikh remained medal-less.
On Thursday, 27 August, a Diamond League stage took place in the Swiss city of Zurich. In the high jump, Ukrainian athletes battled for medals, having secured a double podium at the recent stage in Poland.
Ukraine was represented by Yaroslava Mahuchikh, Iryna Herashchenko, and Yuliya Levchenko.
Levchenko cleared the 1,89 meter bar and finished the competition in ninth place. Mahuchikh was traditionally considered the favorite, but could not clear the 2,00 meter height and stopped at a result of 1,96 meters, sharing fourth and fifth places with Jamaica’s Lamara Distin.
The best result among Ukrainians was shown by Herashchenko, who jumped the 2,00 meters and repeated her personal career best. She managed to clear this height for the third time in her career.
In the decisive duel, Iryna could not clear the 2,02 meter height, achieved by Australian Nicola Olyslagers, who became the champion.
