Our champion gave a candid interview to Reutres
Yaroslava Maguchikh, the Ukrainian champion of the 2024 Olympic Games in high jump, will spend her earnings on charity. In an interview with Reuters, the 22-year-old from Dnipro admitted that she supports and will continue to support the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the war against Russia.
"Our government pays all its athletes $125,000 for an Olympic gold medal. Yaroslava will receive another $50,000 from the International Federation of Athletics.
"First of all, I have a team to whom I have to give something back, because we work together. I'll give part of it to the Armed Forces of Ukraine and also to volunteers, because there are a lot of training camps now and, unfortunately, they have been closing very slowly lately," Maguchikh said.
On August 4, Maguchikh won a gold medal in the high jump at the 2024 Olympic Games. The Ukrainian athlete took first place with a result of 2.00 meters.
Another Ukrainian, Iryna Gerashchenko, came third (195 cm), winning bronze together with Eleanor Patterson (Australia). Mykhailo Kokhan also took third place in the hammer throw tournament.
Later , an explanation of Yaroslava's actions before the victory jump at the 2024 Games appeared.
