Ukrainian track and field athlete Yaroslava Mahuchikh won gold at the 2026 European Championships in Birmingham. This is the 24-year-old athlete’s third European Championship title in the high jump.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maguchikh began the final with a clearance of 1.92 meters, clearing it on her first attempt. At 1.95 meters, the Ukrainian made her first mistake, but cleared the bar on her second attempt.<\/p>\n

Maguchikh’s winning height was 1.97 meters, which the Ukrainian cleared on her first attempt. None of her competitors were able to match this result, and after three unsuccessful jumps, she retired.<\/p>\n

Poland’s Maria Jodzik won the silver medal with a result of 1.95 m. Bronze went to Montenegro’s Marija Vukovic, who also cleared 1.95 m.<\/p>\n

Another Ukrainian, Iryna Gerashchenko, finished fifth. She cleared 1.92 m, but failed to clear 1.95 m three times. This was Gerashchenko’s first major international competition since becoming pregnant.<\/p>\n

Thus, Maguchikh repeated her success at the 2022 and 2024 European Championships and became the best high jumper on the continent for the third time.<\/p>\n
