World Athletics Championships 2022: Yaroslava Mahuchikh Takes High Jump Silver For Ukraine – In Pics
Ukrainian high jumper Yaroslava Mahuchikh delivered good news to her war-torn country with a silver-medal performance at World Athletics Championships 2022. The 20-year-old cleared 2.02 meters (6 feet, 7 1/2 inches) on Tuesday night to add the outdoor silver to the indoor world title she won in March, shortly after she escaped her hometown of Dnipro, which had come under attack by Russia. Australia's Eleanor Patterson took gold while Elena Vallortigara of Italy grabbed the third position.
