Ukrainian track and field athlete Yaroslava Mahuchikh, who won gold at the Absolute World Championship in athletics in the high jump, shared her impressions of the tournament. This was reported by Glavkom.
“Honestly, I’m very glad it happened so quickly. A meter 86, 91, 95, 99 and then there should have been 2.02 meters, but it wasn’t. For me, it’s really cool when it happens so fast. I’m used to lying down, but sometimes, when the weather is bad, waiting for your turn to perform for half an hour or an hour gets a bit boring. I’m very glad to win this trophy and finish the season on a good note.”
“Of course, I would have liked to jump a little higher, but the main thing is that the trophy is here. This is the first such World Championship, and I won it,” the Ukrainian said.
Yaroslava Mahuchikh cleared 1.99 meters in the high jump.
Two other Ukrainians also competed in the high jump: Iryna Herashchenko (1.91 meters) and Yuliya Levchenko (1,86 meters). They finished fifth and sixth respectively.
In the hammer throw, bronze was won by Ukrainian Mykhailo Kochan with a mark of 78.9 meters.
By the way, Yaroslava Mahuchikh received 150 thousand euros for the gold medal at the Absolute World Championship.
