Mahuchikh, the world champion, was elated after setting a new best mark of 2.10 metres. “Coming into this competition, I had feelings that I could jump 2.07 metres and maybe 2.10 metres,” Mahuchikh said. “Finally I signed Ukraine to the history of world athletics.” The previous record of 2.09m was set by Bulgaria’s Stefka Kostadinova in Rome in 1987.
The 22-year-old Mahuchikh and Nicola Olyaslagers, the world indoor champion, cleared 2.01m on their second attempt. After Olyslagers failed three times at 2.03m, Mahuchikh cleared that height to secure victory.
She then cleared 2.07m to set a Ukrainian record and had the bar raised to 2.10m, which she cleared on her first try.
