The first in the world! Maguchikh won the tournament in Germany with a record. Video of the winning jump

Famous Ukrainian high jumper Yaroslava Maguchikh won her first competition in 2024. The 22-year-old from Dnipro became the first at the World Athletics Indoor Tour tournament in Cottbus, Germany.

Yaroslava started her performance with a mark of 1.90 meters. By that time, five of the eight athletes had already dropped out of the competition. After taking this mark on the first attempt, Maguchikh went on to claim a height of 1.94 meters. Here, our compatriot's only rival was German Imke Onnen.

Maguchikh then took 1.96 meters. Onnen missed the mark, deciding to jump 1.98 meters. All three attempts of the German athlete were unsuccessful.

The Ukrainian conquered 1.98 on her first attempt, and then jumped 2.01 and then 2.04 on her second attempt.

This became a new record for the Cottbus tournament, the best result of the season in the world and a repeat of the third best jump in the career of the athlete from Dnipro.

Maguchikh's personal record remains 2.06 meters, which she conquered in February 2021 in Slovakia.
