Ukrainian high jumper, Olympic champion

Yaroslava Mahuchikh is a Ukrainian track and field athlete who competes in the high jump. In July 2024 she became the first woman to clear 2.10 metres, breaking a world record that had stood for 37 years, and then won at the 2024 Olympics. That year World Athletics named her the world's best female athlete in field events, and European Athletics named her the best in Europe. In 2026 she became world indoor champion for the second time and European champion for the third time in a row. In October 2026 an asteroid near Jupiter was named after her.

MykVisti covers her results at the Olympics, the World, European and Ukrainian championships and Diamond League meetings, as well as her awards and charity work.
