Yaroslava Mahuchikh of Ukraine set a world record in the women's high jump Sunday.
Dive into the numbers of the track and field world-record holders as we prepare for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
At a Diamond League meet in Paris, Yaroslava Mahuchikh erased a mark that had stood for 37 years, jumping 2.10 meters in one of the last big tuneups leading into the Olympics."Coming into this competition, I had feelings that I could jump 2.07 meters and maybe 2.10 meters," Mahuchikh said."Finally I signed Ukraine to the history of world athletics."
She then cleared 2.07 meters to set a Ukrainian record and had the bar raised to 2.10, which she cleared on her first try. "We all are fighting for our people, for our soldiers," she said last month after defending her European title."We want to show every person in the world that we will continue fighting, that war in Ukraine it's not finished, unfortunately. We should fight in every field to show that Ukraine is strongest."
