Yaroslava Mamochikh, in the Diamond League final, finished second, losing the gold to Australian Eleanor Patterson. After the competition, the athlete conveyed a message to Ukrainians who follow her performances through journalists.
Mamochikh responded to the criticism that fans allow themselves after several tournaments in a row in which Yaroslava does not jump the highest. She urged fans to conduct themselves differently in a comment to Suspilne.
Mamochikh's appeal to Ukrainians
The world record holder could not fail to notice the wave of negativity directed at her by fans who demand from Mamochikh only victories, while this season she has yielded to both the Australian and her Ukrainian teammates Yuliya Levchenko and Iryna Gerashchenko.
Thus Yaroslava decided to address the fans with a request to be more tolerant of athletes' possibilities.
I really want to address the spectators: when you watch our competitions, please, if you support us, support us until the end, and not only when we fail. Write negative comments. This is sport, and we are nervous. I cannot constantly jump very high and show perfect results,
— Mamochikh exclaimed.
At the same time, Yaroslava promised to do everything in her power to perform as best as possible at the main season event—the World Athletics Championships, which will begin in Budapest in just a few days.
What results Mamochikh showed at the last competitions
After winning the European Championship, Yaroslava rose to the top of the podium once more, at the Diamond League stage in Silesia.
After this, in Zurich she unexpectedly found herself outside the top three, and later there were two second places—in Heilbronn at the Silver Tour stage of the Continental Circuit and in the Diamond League final in Brussels.
Mamochikh's best result of the season remains 2 meters 3 centimeters, demonstrated in the first start of the year at the Demyanuk Memorial in Lviv.
