Ukrainian athlete Yaroslava Mahuchikh redefined gravity at Sunday's Diamond League meet in Paris, shattering the women's high jump world record with a 2.10m leap 🚀 – all on her first attempt!
The 22-year-old erased Bulgarian legend Stefka Kostadinova's 2.09m mark from 1987, a record that stood since before Mahuchikh was born 👶. \"This victory writes Ukraine into athletics history,\" said the Tokyo Olympic bronze medalist, whose jump drew roaring cheers from the Parisian crowd.
Mahuchikh's record-breaking moment comes as she establishes herself as track and field's newest phenom – and proves historic milestones can emerge even during challenging times. The athlete dedicated her win to \"every Ukrainian fighting for our future.\" 💙💛
With Paris hosting the 2024 Olympics, this record-setting weekend hints at the electrifying performances we might witness next summer! 🏟️
