Mahuchikh chose her best jumps of the year 2026

Ukrainian track and field athlete Yaroslava Mahuchikh singled out her best high jumps of this year. This was reported by “Glavcom” with reference to “Suspilne Sport.”

In the season-2026 the Ukrainian recorded the best seasonal result on the planet. At the Demyanyuk Memorial in Lviv she jumped 2,03 m. However, the athlete’s favorite attempt turned out to be a different jump.

“Five jumps… Let’s try. First — the World Indoor Championships in Torun, where after 1,98 m there was a height of 2,01 m on the first attempt. Then, of course, Lviv — that is my best result of the season, 2,03 m. That was in winter, but it’s still my season. From the most recent ones, of course, the Absolute World Championship — 1,99 m, because there was a good margin there, I really liked it. At other competitions there weren’t such great jumps,” Mahuchikh said.

Separately, the high jumper recalled her attempts to clear higher bars. In particular, she twice tried to conquer the height of 2,04 m. The personal best for the Ukrainian athlete and simultaneously the world record remains 2,10 m.

“I liked that in this season 2026 of the year I twice tried to take the height of 2,04 m. I hope I’ll conquer it next season,” the athlete said.

This year Mahuchikh won gold at the World Championships and triumphed at the European Outdoor Championships. She also won the inaugural Absolute World Championship in the high jump. Meanwhile, at the Diamond League final the Ukrainian finished second.

By the way, Australian athlete Nicola Olyslagers won the Diamond League meet in Zurich, Switzerland. Ukrainian Iryna Herashchenko was second. Mahuchikh finished fourth there.

Recall that earlier Mahuchikh and Herashchenko completed a one-two at the Diamond League meet in Silesia, Poland. At that event both Ukrainian women beat all their rivals. Patterson finished third there.
